Common Challenges in Warehouse Design & How to Solve Them
- Ineffective use of space: If you’re struggling to find places to put things, you’re not alone. Start by making sure your most popular products are in easy-to-reach, accessible places. Consider implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to get an even clearer picture of the routes products and employees are taking, then use that information to reorganize your warehouse’s layout.
- Inaccurate inventory management: If you’re still using a manual tracking system to manage your inventory, you probably experience a lot of errors. These errors cost money, which adds up in a bad way. We recommend investing in an inventory tracking software. These can be as simple as a handheld device or as granular as an entire warehouse system. We’ll work with you to pick the one that’s right for you.
- Increasing labor costs: Automation isn’t cheap, but let’s face it, labor costs aren’t cheap either. If you’re not sure where to start with automation, take a look at your processes and pick out any that are repetitive or cumbersome. These are the best opportunities to work in some type of automation, whether it’s a conveyor system, an automated picking system, or a palletizing system.Â
What is the Best Way to Organize a Warehouse?
Start by thinking about the flow of your products. The flow of your space should follow the order of operations. Try to make it as easy as possible to get from one step to the next. Keep a map of the space handy to give to your team. Make sure bins are labeled and organized. And make sure your team sticks to it!
A Warehouse Management System can truly transform your organization. This software can take the guesswork out of many steps and reduce the chances of human error. It also helps you make decisions quicker and more efficiently. Ask us about the different types of warehouse management systems out there and we’ll find the one that’s right for you.
An efficient warehouse is more than just getting more storage space. It truly impacts every aspect of your business. From employee safety to fulfillment times to overhead costs, a well-thought-out warehouse can help you achieve your business goals. A poorly designed warehouse will actually prevent you from growing and succeeding in your goals.
