In order to reduce total costs, you can use several different ways to save. For example, start with the fact that forcing employees to perform more operations per unit of time. And get a lot of errors in the future due to haste. Or expand the circle of duties of each person, forcing to stay at the workplace for a long time after the end of the work. True, after a very short time you can get a lot of statements for dismissal.
It is more correct and logical to save where you can use innovations. For example, at the operating costs of the warehouse farm. New lithium-ion batteries for flooring is one of the steps to minimize costs. After all, it is these consumables that allow you to get rid of obsolete lead batteries, because of which employees were forced to spend time charging electric drives, as well as their maintenance and replacement.
It is worth thinking about alternative energy sources. Already today heating and lighting can be organized directly on the territory of the warehouse complex. We are talking about solar panels on the roof of buildings and heat accumulators located there. The former convert light into electricity, and the latter can heat several hundred liters of water using the thermal energy of the sun. Moreover, effective work is ensured even in the winter period. It is not necessary to completely switch to self -sufficiency. It is enough just to organize a partial decrease in warehouse expenses, and a critically difficult period for the company can be successfully experienced.
If we talk about the effectiveness of the use of electricity, it is impossible to get around the LED lighting. It is this way of savings that can be considered the most innovative. Indeed, thanks to the use of modern technologies, the luminous flux of the diodes is noticeably higher than that of standard lamps. And this is not even taken into account by an order of magnitude smaller power consumption. Well-lit workplaces can increase the effectiveness of staff interaction without any additional influences.
Such, simplest at first glance, steps within the framework of a large warehouse complex are able to cause multimillion -dollar saving of funds. Which, in turn, will be an excellent help to ensure the main production processes. And it is quite possible, in the future, its own company will learn about passing crisis “waves” only from newspapers or television.
