In this initial stage of warehouse optimization, a thorough audit is conducted to assess the current state of storage facilities. This involves inspecting the layout, shelving, pallet racking, and overall infrastructure. The objective is to identify areas that are not efficiently utilizing space or require maintenance. A detailed examination of inventory storage methods, including categorization, labeling, and accessibility, is also performed. Additionally, staff operations such as receiving, stocking, and retrieving items are observed to pinpoint any inefficiencies in the workflow. This step provides a clear understanding of existing processes and enables business stakeholders to make informed decisions about necessary upgrades or modifications to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance overall warehouse performance.
