▶ What is Milk Run

Milk Run is a method to speed up the flow of materials between facilities by routing vehicles to make multiple pick-ups and drop-offs at many facilities.

This approach involves frequent pick-ups and drop-offs with milk-run vehicles connecting a number of facilities rather than waiting to accumulate a truckload for direct shipment between two facilities.

The idea behind Milk Run is to reduce inventories and response times along a value stream.



▶ Milk Run Benefits

By using milk-run vehicles to make frequent stops at different facilities, we can reduce the amount of inventory that needs to be held at each location. This helps to minimize waste and increase efficiency in the supply chain.

Milk runs between facilities are similar in concept to material handling routes within facilities.

Just as we would use material handling routes within a facility to move materials from one point to another, we can use milk-run vehicles to move materials between facilities.

One of the biggest benefits of using Milk Run is that it helps to improve response times.

When materials are moved more frequently between facilities, it reduces the time it takes for them to reach their destination.

This is especially important in manufacturing where delays can lead to production downtime and lost revenue.

Milk Run can also help to reduce transportation costs.

By using smaller vehicles to make frequent stops at multiple facilities, we can reduce the amount of fuel and other resources that are needed for transportation.

This can help to lower costs and improve profitability for businesses.



▶ Conclusions

In conclusion, Milk Run is a powerful tool for Lean Manufacturing that can help to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and increase profitability.

By using milk-run vehicles to make frequent stops at multiple facilities, we can reduce inventories, improve response times, and lower transportation costs. I hope this video has been informative and that you can apply this concept to your own business.
