FINISHED GOODS WAREHOUSE LAYOUT

PROJECT INCLUDES:

• Plant Layout Development

IMEG was hired by an RV appliance manufacturer to develop a layout for a 100,000-square-foot warehouse for finished goods.

THE PROBLEM

No digital facility layout developed
Greatly reduced storage space with an increase in storage requirements
Insufficient current and forecasted inventory data
First In, First Out (FIFO) required
Undefined processes for storing and retrieving finished goods
Over 175 finished good SKUs with large variances in storage quantities
Required access to all warehouse utility locations

THE PLAN

Conduct field measuring to draw the warehouse in AutoCAD, including all utilities
Develop an inventory list detailing the current and maximum inventory levels for each SKU
Create warehouse layout designs in AutoCAD
Evaluate layout designs based on travel distance, floor space, shipping staging space, safety, and access to utilities
Identify requirements for warehouse signage
