This research analyzes PT XYZ’s e-commerce fulfillment warehouse using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology due to a shortfall in order processing, averaging 184.64 orders per shift versus a target of 250. The objective is to enhance operational efficiency and manpower productivity. Initial analysis identified significant inefficiencies and high variability in processing times due to Warehouse Management System (WMS) synchronization issues, manual rework, lack of standards, and non-value-adding activities. The improvement phase proposed solutions such as implementing a Pick-to-Light (PTL) system, WMS enhancements, standardized receipt picking, and incentive schemes. These improvements aim to reduce errors, optimize workflows, and increase employee productivity. The control phase includes comprehensive training plans, documentation, and monitoring tools to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement. Implementing these solutions is expected to increase order processing efficiency by 40-50%, build a more competitive and motivated workforce, and address issues between regular and freelance employees through targeted training and incentive schemes.
