With regarding the factory warehouse problems, order picking process has high labor intensive cost and operational cost and non-value adding activity for almost every factory warehouse. Therefore, to increase order picking efficiency, the objective was to investigate QR code on mobile platform for improving order picking process of lean factory warehouse. To eliminate waste in order picking process, quick response code (QR) on mobile platforms of smartphone was proposed for factory warehouse solution. The operation research was used with Nakhon-Ratchasima province’s electronic manufacturing company of Thailand. The results indicated that QR code on mobile platform was an effective tools to reduce order picking process waste (i.e., travel time and waiting waste) and increase productivity. The picker can directly scan the QR code using smartphone after that can find the items immediately. According to the results, firm’s manager should employ the finding of this study to support decision making to smart factory warehouse management through using technology and electronic device such as smartphone.
