In an environment where customers demand the right product, in the right place, at the right time, distribution centers must work hard to meet and exceed these expectations. An optimally slotted warehouse supports efficient putaway, picking, and pallet building; reduces product damage; and increases customer satisfaction.
Whether you are retrofitting a warehouse or working on a greenfield operation, the first step in achieving an optimally slotted warehouse is performing a Storage Type Analysis to assure the right type and right quantity of storage types are available in the layout.
Fact is, slotting is complex and guesswork, paper-based calculations, spreadsheets, and outdated slotting methodologies don’t yield optimal results. We invite you to join Ron Rafe of Alpine Supply Chain Solutions and Jon Riccio of Optricity as they walk through a real-world Storage Type Analysis and share how the results helped slotting change a greenfield layout and ultimately reduced labor expenses, improved order fulfillment cycle time, and maximized space
