The purpose of a distribution center Storage Analysis
project is to define the most appropriate storage media and
layout configuration based on the physical characteristics,
storage requirements and activity profile for a
given set of SKUs.
Typically, three factors are considered when evaluating alternative storage concepts … space utilization, equipment cost (both storage and mobile equipment) and labor efficiency. Often these factors will be in direct conflict with one another. A sound analysis that considers both economics (ROI) and qualitative factors (ergonomics, flexibility, scalability …) is necessary to identify the most appropriate solution.
