You’re running out of warehouse space. How can you maximize storage with limited resources?

1. Stock consolidation: Many a times locations are partially occupied. a good WMS should provide inventory consolidation for such locations. 2. ABC analysis of inventory: Consolidate slow movers into locations that need more time for picking, rearrange fast movers to optimal picking locations. 3. Optimize putaway and picking strategies: Do not always consider empty locations for putaway and during picking consider broken pallets before going to a new location.

If the space is continuously being jammed, there can be multiple reasons which can only be validated through data tracking and analysis 1. Current racks not fully utilised 2. Marshaling areas either absent or small or not adequately utilised 3. Less throughput of the WH resulting is backlogs and chocking 4. Slow moving items utilising storage space for longer periods of time If all the above are tried and tested to the fullest, one can arrive at a position to call a WH inadequate.

My favorite warehouse activity is "location maintenance" Generally known as stock control and can be carried out in this order; 1. Grouping stock of similar packages or usage will help maximize space 2. Isolating fast movers from slow movers (for easy access and picking efficiency) 3. Reverse Logistics, identifying absolute stock, expired, damaged, etc and disposing of them using approved methods This has worked to ultimately improve warehouse management for my team and the organization at large.

Firstly, Warehouse physics matters. Standard optimisation strategies could fail in factories, simply because there is not enough space nor the luxury to follow the prescribed strategies.It’s important to reflect the physical warehouse in the application chosen. Secondly, pen down real life processes do not force the application prescribed processes. Several implementations have failed because the technology team decided to apply the prescribed system steps only to realise it never fitted into the warehouse physics. Thirdly, use the hands-on crew to identify pain areas like redundant work, resistance to change, ergonomic challenges and ensure crew understands the application prescribed process.Finally chose hardware respecting points 1,2,3.

Como dono da Paethus Transportes, a otimiza??o do espa?o no armazém é crucial para garantir eficiência operacional e atender às crescentes demandas do negócio. Aqui est?o algumas das estratégias que utilizamos no dia a dia: -Reorganiza??o do Layout -Sistema de Estocagem Vertical -Gest?o Inteligente de Estoque -Picking Estratégico -Empilhamento Adequado -Racks Móveis -Sistemas de Rastreamento Automatizado -Elimina??o de Estoques Obsoletos -Armazenamento em Camadas -Uso Eficiente de Espa?os N?o Tradicionais

Following strategies 1. Adjust your racking heights, where its possible and increase the stacking height. 2. Remove the redundant inventory from warehouse. 3. Put slow moving inventory to a dedicated aisles and utilise the aisles spacing. 4. Marked the floor areas as temporary storages. 5. Make towers on pallets placed on ground. 6. Reduce the storage duration of inventory in coordination with commercial team. 7. Ensure direct Dispatches of high turnover inventory.

Agree with these AI generated guidelines. Changing layouts need to consider below 2 points: 1. Product dimensions/weights have to be analysed 2. Product daily hits report for 4 months should be available.

Maximizing your storage requires optimizing your layout. Designing the warehouse in a way that takes advantage of vertical and horizontal space, reduces travel distances and congestion, and improves safety and efficiency is key. When doing so, you should align your aisles with inbound and outbound flows, create zones for different types of products (e.g., fast-moving, slow-moving, or seasonal), use cross-aisles or shortcuts to connect different zones for better accessibility, and leave enough space for equipment and personnel to operate safely and smoothly.

To truly innovate storage efficiency, explore the implementation of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). AS/RS utilizes robotics and technology to automate the retrieval and storage of goods. These systems can significantly reduce labor costs, enhance accuracy, and maximize vertical space utilization. By integrating AS/RS, warehouses can achieve a high-density storage solution, enabling faster retrieval times and minimizing the need for excessive horizontal space. This modern approach revolutionizes traditional storage practices, fostering a leap forward in warehouse efficiency.

The selection of an appropriate racking system is pivotal in making the most out of available space. Consider the nature of your inventory – does it vary in size or weight? Opt for a racking system that accommodates these variations. Dividing a standard rack height into half is a clever technique to create additional space. This enables you to house smaller pallets efficiently while still providing room for larger pallets. Customizing your racking system to match your inventory's characteristics enhances storage density and accessibility simultaneously.

Revolutionize your storage capacity by considering mobile racking systems as an alternative. Mobile racking systems, also known as mobile pallet racking or compact pallet racking, use movable bases to create a dynamic storage environment. These systems maximize storage density by eliminating unnecessary aisles. By mobilizing rows of pallet racks, you can access any aisle by moving the racks horizontally, optimizing space while maintaining accessibility. While requiring a higher initial investment, mobile racking systems provide a compelling solution for warehouses with limited space seeking to enhance storage efficiency.

The implementation of methodologies such as Lean 5S within a facility helps drive organization and safety. On the surface it may not seem like it has a large impact but in a fixed space like a warehouse, every inch is impactful. Removing unnecessary equipment and non-essential items, ensuring everything has a location and is in its location, and consistently cleaning workspaces and travel lanes can increase building capacity and productivity.

To further elevate your storage optimization efforts, consider integrating advanced technologies like RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and IoT (Internet of Things). These technologies provide real-time visibility into your inventory, enabling accurate tracking and monitoring. Implementing RFID tags on pallets and using IoT sensors in your racks can enhance inventory accuracy, reduce errors, and streamline operations. Additionally, deploying warehouse management software with analytics capabilities allows you to gain actionable insights, facilitating data-driven decisions for continuous improvement in storage efficiency. Embrace technology to revolutionize your warehouse management and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

Running out of warehouse space is both a systematic and tactical (day-to-day) issue that requires different approaches. At a systematic level, we need to check the adequacy of internal alerts on occupancy. Is this a forecast issue? Warehousing is designed with storage optimization (for long-stay products), speed of turnaround (for fast movers), or a mix of both. There must be daily alerts on occupancy so that we can avoid such and also trigger outsourcing protocol. Tactically, we can consider a temporal lease of storage (with approval from customers and relevant authorities) using a warehouse or containers, depending on the volume and period. All orders must be monitored daily and updates provided on potential delays till this is over.

Look beyond the low hanging fruit. For example, replace your plug-in charging or battery exchange rooms with automated wireless chargers that can be installed throughout the warehouse to charge vehicles while they work. It saves space and eliminates vehicle downtime. Win win.
