Abstract

The ATS Lab Warehouse Reconfiguration project is a collaborative effort between Kennesaw State University’s Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and ATS Lab, located in Marietta, GA. The goal of this project is to redesign the current warehouse layout to enhance operational efficiency, reduce travel time, and implement sustainable inventory management practices, including 5S and Kanban. Aaron Roob, ATS Operations Manager, and Franklin Hungerford, Continuous Improvement Manager, led this initiative. Our team, “Sick Sigma’s,” is composed of Ed Cantor, our Project Manager, who is working as an intern at ATS during this process; Dana Pazhouhesh (Process Engineer); Matthew Oshinski (Quality Engineer); and Samantha Sanchez (Data Analyst). Together, we aim to develop actionable proposals that enhance material flow, support scalability, and meet the business's evolving needs. The objective of this project is to identify areas for improvement in the ATS warehouse to meet better changing business demands and to propose a design for a reconfigured warehouse. The proposed design will streamline inventory flow, and new systems will track order KPIs such as order turnover time. A better, more visible, efficient, and safe warehouse design will allow ATS to meet and exceed customer expectations. Current Inventory processing and storage solutions at ATS have led to inventory issues such as lost orders, broken parts, and long lead times. As the business expands, a more robust and structured inventory management system is necessary to avoid these issues and meet customer expectations. Improving warehouse design will enable ATS to operate more efficiently and effectively.
