When To Consider Changing Your Warehouse Layout

There are several instances when it may be prudent to reevaluate your warehouse layout.

The following factors should be taken into account:

  • Your organization anticipates a surge in activity that exceeds the current capacity.
  • You intend to establish a new facility in addition to the existing one.
  • You are experiencing stockouts. Expanding your warehouse storage can help mitigate or at least foresee such occurrences.
  • Your aisles are congested with pallets that are not meant to be there.
  • Nearly 90% of your rack’s storage capacity is currently utilized.

Benefits of Redesigning a Warehouse Layout

A redesign of the warehouse layout offers numerous benefits. Some of these include:

  • Enhancement of logistics flows.
  • Increase in available storage capacity.
  • Boost in productivity.
  • Cost reductions resulting from inefficient product storage.
  • Streamlining of warehouse operational processes.

In the process of redesigning a warehouse layout, it is essential to take into account all the aforementioned factors.

A thorough analysis is required for each warehouse, focusing on the quantity of pallets to be stored, the total number of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), the rate of stock rotation, and the availability of slots within the racking system.
