Slotting is normally restricted to the picking face or online locations only, however it can impose some general rules for stock location in the bulk areas in order to increase replenishment efficiency. Increase replenishment and put-away efficiency. High level Slotting is a minimum requirement for the implementation of a new facility.
The first exercise is to determine if a warehouse should have a pick aisle, by analyzing order history/product demand, and the second exercise is to architect the appropriate slotting (positioning of the product) within that pick aisle. daily demand, so they either need additional space for more stock or more frequent replenishment.

Enterprise transformations are a multi-year exercise in the making. The low hanging fruit has been plucked and everyone is happy.
A warehouse benchmarking exercise is an excellent way to start the quest for improvement opportunities. LMS applications can help with real-time workforce tracking, performance analysis, and scheduling. Similarly, can you streamline the receiving and replenishment processes to reduce the time and labour needed for these activities?
