Problem Research
IKEA is one of the company that engages in retail. As a large company IKEA wants to make their company grow more and more and become better everyday. In order to expand and develop their company, IKEA also faces some problems :
1. Packaging design makes unnecessary costs
In this part, means that many of their low value products use excessive space on load units due to packaging design. Their packaging design results in poor efficiency in both the transportation and warehouse operations, and thereby creates unnecessary costs. For examples : for large products such as pillows, mattresses, sofas, and others which are filled with air and therefore take up a lot of unnecessary space during transportation andstorage. Another example of a product that has traditionally included a lot of air in its packaging is the Glimma tea candle. The original packaging for the candles is a bag containing 100 candles weighing in total 1.4kg. IKEA has been looking into ways of eliminating as much air as possible from their product packages.
2. Transportation costs form a large part of the total cost of many of the products
In this part, it can be shown that it’s important to make the company to minimize transportation, handling and warehouse costs wherever possible. As we can see in the packaging problem stated that it takes a lot of unnecessary space during transportation and storage. This means that if we take a lot of unnecessary space during transportation, it will makes more transport that will be used. So more transportation means more cost.
