Best for

▸Redesign forward-pick slotting layout based on SKU velocity analysis to reduce travel distance
▸Optimize golden zone allocation when A-velocity items exceed ergonomic height capacity
▸Configure WMS slotting rules for seasonal demand shifts in e-commerce fulfillment centers
▸Analyze pick-path routing efficiency and implement return-aware re-slotting for high-velocity returns
▸Design affinity-based slotting strategy for frequently co-ordered SKU clusters

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

Not designed for ↓

×Warehouse management system software selection or technical implementation
×Labor scheduling, staffing optimization, or workforce management
×Inventory purchasing decisions or demand planning forecasts
×Physical warehouse construction or equipment procurement

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.
