Warehouse Optimization

The processes in place in your warehouse are likely to have a serious impact on the rest of your supply chain operations. 

For example, your warehouse plays a crucial part in addressing your sourcing policies, which are critical for success. This includes:
  • Geographical versus product type sourcing
  • Inventory levels
  • System redundancies

Your warehouse processes are also critical in the day to day performance of your business as they relate to crucial decisions that affect the rest of your organization, including:
  • Staging policies
  • Pallet versus box shipments
  • Grouped or dispersed storage
  • Where to store which item

There are also some other critical decisions that you need to make in relation to your warehouse optimization:
  • How to support ship to order policies
  • How to introduce a conveyor system into your supply chain operations
  • How to introduce an automated storage system
