WAREHOUSING IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS

Abstract

This article analyses a problem that directly affects operational efficiency. Through interviews with the company's logistics and warehouse managers, the main problem was identified as a lack of storage volume. It turned out that the company does not have an innovative warehouse management system and that the existing warehouse layout is outdated and is not well adapted to the products currently stored. This leads to inefficient use of warehouse space, higher operating costs and slower order picking. Following an in-depth study, two solutions for improving warehousing performance were put forward: renting new warehouse space and introducing a warehouse management system. After assessing the advantages and disadvantages of both solutions, the company was recommended to invest in a warehouse management system. This solution will not only solve the existing problems, but will also reduce the number of mistakes, ensure a more efficient management of the flow of goods and open up even more possibilities for warehouse management. Meanwhile, renting warehouse space is only a temporary solution that does not solve the company's main problems.
