Capstone Design Project Stock Keeping Units Allocation for ICI Paints

Abstract

As part of our Capstone Design Project we will design the SKU (Stock Keeping Units) allocation system for the Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) Paints Royal Warehouse located in Barrio Palmas, Catano. In the manufacturing plant (located in Carolina) a productivity and efficiency analysis of the gallons (Latex & Solvent) filling lines will be performed in order to come with solutions to maximize time utilization and minimize customers complaints about the delivery of the orders. Moreover, we will be analyzing how the task design in the filling lines impact the operator's physical capabilities and health. We will search for any solution to minimize fatigue and eliminate as much as possible any potential hazard to the employees and ICI Paints property.
