Señor Snack Freight Improvement
Project Name: Freight Delivery Improvement
Company: Señor Snacks Inc.
Location: La Mirada, CA
Señor Snacks' freight delivery system had certain flaws that as our
sales began to rise and freight deliveries increased, made it hard for
the office to keep up with freight deliveries. But the process in
which we carry out the various stages to send freight deliveries was
unorganized and confusing for example, people were not sure was
their role was in the process and would have to fill in the tasks that
no one was responsible for, increasing their workload by 50%.
So after I started noticing frustration from my co-workers, I took it
upon myself to devise a flowchart that would be organized and
would make it quicker to deliver the goods. In the flowchart,
everyone involved would have a specific task to do and forward it to
the next person for him or her to do the next task, and so on. This
became the norm in which we were successful as a team we even
learned other team duties.
