Methods to improve warehousing and distribution efficiency

Here at Keedwell Scotland, our warehousing and distribution services provide guaranteed service, reliability and reduced costs and is specifically tailored to meet the needs of customer requirements.

Warehouse efficiency is not only about complex picking algorithms but also using basic common sense and the correct storage facilities/equipment. Due to our extensive knowledge and expertise of these services, we are able to share our warehouse improvement ideas and warehouse management tips which we guarantee will help to improve the efficiency and smooth operational running of your warehouse, just follow these quick methods and watch your performance skyrocket.

There are many ways to improve warehouse efficiency including:

  • A warehouse improvement plan is extremely beneficial as it allows businesses to strategise how to run their warehouse in the most productive and efficient way possible.
  • Slotting strategy. Warehouse slotting is the systematic method of reviewing inventory data in order to organise warehouse stock or delivery centre. The aim of warehouse slotting is to increase the overall productivity and efficiency of your operations.
  • Utilising available space. Instead of using wide storage units, try to use tall ones as this will provide more floor space to set out equipment and for picking and packing goods/products.
  • Lean inventory is a process that will allow you to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and assist in putting the customer first by reducing or removing safety stocks and aiming to get suppliers to provide smaller quantities more frequently.
