Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the addressing system as an application of lean principles and visual management to optimize cycle time in the logistics – spare parts Division of PT. Sanoh Indonesia. The main issue was time waste during picking due to the lack of a visual navigation system. Using a case study approach with observation, interviews, and documentation, the addressing system (labeling, location coding, and zoning) significantly reduced time by 72.1% and improved work comfort, warehouse, organization, and new worker adaptation. These results reinforce operational management, lean, and warehouse management theories.
