Warehouse Slotting
If your facility handles a lot of same-day shipments, it is extremely important that products are slotted and replenished correctly and in a timely manner to facilitate faster pick rates. Effective slotting enables optimum product location to reduce picking time, improve service levels, adjust for seasonal or nonseasonal demand fluctuations and maximize your warehouse space.
Strategic factors impacting slotting policy are.
- product lifecycle
- seasonality
- demand fluctuation
- labor force utilization
- warehouse layout efficiency
