5 Factors For A Perfect Warehouse Design: @holisollogistic

Understand how goods circulate through the facility by analyzing the movement processes like dispatch, receipt, and order preparation. High rotation products that have frequent input and output should be placed strategically to minimize movement and costs. Detecting these product flows is important for an effective warehouse design. When designing a warehouse layout, first determine the spatial relationships between areas while ignoring specific layout details. A logical rating system should be used to evaluate factors like space requirements without overstating any one. Space needs are set for each area using methods like historical data or established standards, then adjustments are made for limitations and needs of individual areas like additional space for exits.

5. Understand how goods circulate through your facility.

 “Circulation here means the movement that happens in


logistical operations, such as dispatch, receipt and order preparation processes. Product rotation is how often the goods are
renewed, i.e., a high-rotation product is one that has a high rate of input and output. Moving loads involve costs, hence it’s
better to minimize the movement, provided the company operational procedure admits it. Detecting these flows is very
important as they contribute in defining what is needed for effective warehouse design.” – 5 Factors For A Perfect

6. Determine spatial relationships between the various areas of the warehouse. “Once the project is clearly defined, the
2nd phase of the process aims to develop an overall plan to layout the areas of the warehouse. In this step, very specific
details of the layout are purposefully ignored. However, other aspects of the layout are closely evaluated.
“The most logical way to initiate this phase is to determine spatial relationships between areas of the warehouse. There are
many aspects that need to be taken into consideration when drawing relationships between areas. Overstating or
understating the importance and impact of any one factor may prove detrimental to the flow of the warehouse. Our consulting
team uses a logical rating system to resolve this issue.
“The next step of this phase is to determine the amount of space each area requires. There are several ways to accomplish
this task. Certain methods may work better than others in a given situation. For example, in some cases, facilities might not
have any historical information for the areas to be laid out while others may have established space standards.
“After the space requirements are set, adjustments can be made to account for limitations and specific needs of each area.
For example, some areas may require an exit door, and it might make sense to give more aisle space to other areas.” –
