Best for

  • Redesigning DC layouts to reduce picker travel time and improve throughput
  • Implementing ABC velocity-based slotting to optimize pick-face locations
  • Designing zone configurations and pick-path routing for omnichannel fulfillment
  • Space planning for automated storage systems and conveyor integration
  • Evaluating warehouse layouts for safety compliance and ergonomic improvements

What you'll get

  • CAD-style layout drawings with detailed zone allocations, aisle widths, and equipment placement specifications
  • Quantitative analysis comparing current vs. optimized layouts with metrics on travel distance reduction and capacity gains
  • Implementation roadmap with phased layout changes, slotting algorithms, and performance monitoring KPIs
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Warehouse management system (WMS) software selection or implementation
  • ×Inventory forecasting or demand planning algorithms
  • ×Labor scheduling or workforce management
  • ×Transportation routing or last-mile delivery optimization
Expects

Current warehouse operational data including order profiles, SKU velocity distribution, throughput targets, and existing layout constraints or limitations.

Returns

Detailed layout designs with zone configurations, slotting strategies, pick-path routing recommendations, and quantified performance improvements including travel time reduction and space utilization metrics.
