There are many costs that companies do not get paid for, i.e., none-values-added costs, waste of material in the production process also known as solid waste is an example of such a cost. Solid waste includes left over of materials that aren ́t reusable after the production process is completed and end up as cassation. 

Danish Crown Jönköping AB is a meat factory that works with meat processing and retail packaging of pork and beef details throughout Sweden. The company wants to follow up the value of waste in production, for it to be implemented, the company needs to streamline the warehousing process to facilitate the follow-up of waste. 

After the problem formulation has been developed where several aspects needed to be addressed, a current situation analysis and workshop were performed to get a clear view about the symptoms shown in the flow. The plant has two different shifts involved in the workflow without any standardized work presented, which leads the shifts to depend on finding the best way to perform the different tasks individually. 

Where and how the articles are placed in the warehouse needed to be sorted out, that was done with a warehouse layout that shows how article are placed at present with an ABC analysis based on picking frequency from a six-weeks forecast. The ABC analysis showed that the placement of the articles can be improved to increase the efficiency level in the inventory process. 

The study resulted in several proposals in the work- and information flow to increase the security in the stock balance, streamline of the inventory process and increased flexibility at the turn of the season.
