A good warehouse design requires both a short-term implementation phase along with long-term defined goals, both aligned with the company’s overall business objectives. Companies must first determine their multi-year goals and objectives across the entire organization and realize where they are in their long-term plan. Without this overall long-term approach, businesses will only yield incremental, limited returns and benefits that may be costly to change and incorporate their long-term goals when realized.
A proper warehouse design should assess which improvements can be made across all aspects of the operation, picking, packing, and shipping. It may seem easiest to correct the low hanging fruit, usually the section with the highest touches. However, correcting one aspect of the warehouse usually forces a bottleneck into another.
