Increasing efficiency by warehouseoptimization
Get rid of space wasters old equipment, obsolete inventory, etc. Sell them at discount prices orauction them off.
Keep popular stock items in prime pick areas. Put slow-moving merchandise in an area where it willnot clog highly trafficked areas.
Look at underused or unused areas of your warehouse.
Watch workflow from department to department.
Schedule regular meetings with employees and managers to ask about ways the operation could
improve.Boost employee morale with ergonomically efficient work areas and performance incentives. Addhours or shifts to your labor force.
Consider cross docking for some of the inventory. Cross docking reduces the need for storage spacebecause it takes popular incoming merchandise and transfers it directly to the shipping area whereorders are being processed. A good conveyor system speeds the transfer of cross docking.
Run a scheduled dock by insisting that every incoming and outgoing driver make an appointment.
