INCREASING EFFICIENCY IN WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT BY USING ABC ANALYSIS OF OUTLET MALL COMPANY LIMITED, UDON THANI BRANCH

Abstract

This research aims to manage the warehouse of the ADIDAS store in Outlet Mall Co., Ltd., Udon Thani branch, which focuses on inventory management to find a method of storing products, arranging products, and reducing the time spent searching for products in the warehouse. The ABC Analysis theory categorizes products, prioritizes, and types products according to their movement. The research found that before using the ABC Analysis theory to help in the operation, there were problems such as no separation of product types, the product not being arranged in a disorderly manner, and the employees being slow in searching for products. Therefore, the tools used to solve these problems, the fishbone diagram and the ABC Analysis theory, were used to help find the cause of the problem and solve the problem. It was found that the time spent searching for products could be reduced from the original. The total time spent searching for products by employees was 31.26 minutes, down to only 16.83 minutes, a 46.16 percent reduction.
