Key Challenge

The company sought to consolidate manufacturing, warehouse, and outside storage into a single facility to support 20% year-over-year growth. However, competing demands for office space, expanded manufacturing, and sub-leased areas reduced available storage, while budget and regulatory constraints limited the adoption of denser racking systems and advanced equipment. These factors created significant pressure to balance capacity, efficiency, and flexibility.

Solution

Alpine Supply Chain Solutions conducted a detailed business and storage type analysis to determine the optimal mix of storage solutions and layout design. By iterating three layout alternatives and collaborating with the client, Alpine delivered a final plan that maximized space, streamlined operations, and provided flexibility for long-term growth. The solution included recommendations for equipment, storage, budget, and future automation opportunities.

Results

The redesigned facility achieved a 66% improvement in storage density and increased inventory capacity by 195%, while reducing time spent on returns and manufacturing processes. With five layout iterations and multiple growth scenarios tested, the client gained a future-ready warehouse design that balanced immediate efficiency with scalability. Alpine’s data-driven approach enabled smarter capital decisions and positioned the company for sustained operational success.
