Abstract

The warehouse environment in the MSME clothing manufacturing business, specifically in this case study located in the Gamarra Commercial Emporium, is a small space in the early stage of most micro enterprises. Hence, in theory it is believed that the space is used properly by the warehouse worker to ensure a good localization of raw materials, fabrics, on shelves. However, in reality after interviewing the warehouse worker, he conveyed that actually there are cases of overwhelming working hours and more in depth it was displayed a lack of planning without a clear schedule, which leads to stress and loss of productivity. In addition, without coding the items space or shelf locations, leave the employee uncertain of the correct procedure without the guidelines of the MSME manager, especially when it is a youth company. In this scenario, there will be a delay in the dispatch of raw materials to the production line and it implies a significant amount of unused capacity. For this reason, this study, which has not novel contribution to the field, aims to formulate a proposal to improve the warehouse management capacity to reduce the service time, responding promptly and in good coordination with the production department and other key areas such as the procurement department.
