Testing warehouse robots before buying more
A robot pilot has a few weeks to show whether picks per hour and accuracy beat the current method, while orders keep shipping. This project holds shift check-ins, the pilot plan on the progress chart, weekly results, robot stops on a board and floor photos.
Merriam Medical Supply asks each shift what stopped a robot in Check-ins and tracks the zone layout, order flow, picker training and the results for its owners as four lists in To-dos, each a dot on the progress chart. Weekly numbers go on the , each robot stop moves from triage to done on Boards, photos of Zone C sit in a Docs & Files grid, and the floor team trades updates in Chat.

Business expansion
Taking on more space means building work, new equipment and an opening date, all while the business stays open. Here the expansion is one project: the building work, the new rooms and the lease, deliveries and inspections, and photos of the new space.

Office move
An office move happens over one weekend, and every desk, computer and box must be packed before it and working after it. Here the move is one project: lists for move weekend, the build-out and IT, photos of the new building, and the books on a board.

Warehouse software rollout
A warehouse has to keep shipping while each shift learns new handhelds, labels and screens, one area at a time. Here the rollout is one project: the cutover checklists, each area's progress on a board, the vendor's mail, floor photos and the supervisors' end-of-shift answers.
