Warehouse pickers spend up to 60% of their day walking. If high-demand items are stored in the back of the facility, you are losing valuable time. Optimizing layout is the fastest way to boost dispatch capacity.
Leveraging ABC Analysis
Classify items into three categories: 'A' (top 20% of items contributing 80% of sales), 'B' (medium-velocity items), and 'C' (slowest-moving inventory). Store 'A' items near packing stations to speed up workflows and reduce wear on staff.
