Warehouse Operations and Layout Optimization

Animation and general parameters of warehouse optimizationConstructing and fitting out a modern warehouse with all its required equipment and tools require significant capital expenditure. The early warehouse planning and design stage is key. Mistakes in planning and layout will decrease warehouse utility and performance while increasing your operational costs. Careful attention should be paid to operational optimization; even a warehouse which operated effectively before may not do so under increasing loads.

Simulation modeling is the modern tool that facilitates design, layout, and optimization of warehouse operations. Simulating a warehouse implies developing a computer model and testing it by executing computational experiments with different combinations of parameters based on that model these experiments provide a low-cost and low risk method to determine the optimal parameter set for a warehouse under development or redesign.

Our consulting division offers a full package of warehouse operations set up and optimization services based on simulation modeling we begin with a thorough investigation of the problem working in close cooperation with customer representatives. This approach ensures a precise problem definition and clear requirements supporting a mutually understood scope of work.

The first step in creating a model is detailing the warehouse structure anthropology: the exact location of major apartment and zones and transportation routes. The next step is to specify the business processes that determine warehouse operation: the who/what/when, of resources (staff and equipment) associated with various procedures. We consider material arrival schedule including variable such as: parts, volume, and timing. During model operation we typically generate and collect detailed warehouse operations statistics such as resource utilization rates, activity durations, completion times, etc. as specified by the customer.
