  • Analyze pick-path routing efficiency and implement return-aware re-slotting for high-velocity returns

What you'll get

  • ABC/XYZ velocity matrix with specific SKU assignments to storage zones and recommended slot positions based on pick frequency
  • Golden zone capacity analysis showing current vs. optimal A-item placement with linear feet calculations and occupancy targets
  • Pick-path routing strategy comparison (serpentine vs. return vs. midpoint) with projected travel distance savings
Expects

Current order profile data (13+ weeks), SKU-level pick frequency data, warehouse layout constraints, and existing slotting performance metrics.

Returns

Detailed slotting strategy with ABC/XYZ velocity segmentation, golden zone allocation plan, pick-path optimization recommendations, and re-slotting trigger thresholds.
