1. Warehouse Layout & Design

1. Optimize space for efficient storage and movement.
2. Use vertical storage and proper shelving systems.
3. Ensure clear paths for forklifts and workers to reduce congestion

2. Inventory Management

1. Implement a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for real-time tracking.
2. Use barcode, RFID, or QR code scanning for accurate stock control.
3. Maintain proper stock levels to prevent overstocking or stockouts

3. Order Processing & Fulfillment

• Reduce order processing time with automation and optimized workflows.

4. Safety & Security

• Train employees on proper safety procedures.
• Install security cameras, access controls, and fire prevention systems.
• Use ergonomic tools and equipment to reduce injuries.

5. Technology & Automation

• Integrate robotics, conveyor belts, and automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS).
• Implement AI-driven forecasting to optimize inventory planning.
• Use cloud-based systems for real-time data access.

6. Supply Chain & Vendor Coordination

• Improve communication with suppliers and logistics partners.
• Monitor lead times and ensure timely replenishment of stock.
• Establish contingency plans for supply chain disruptions.

7. Space Utilization & Storage Optimization

• Use different storage systems (pallet racking, bin shelving, mezzanines).
• Apply slotting techniques to place fast-moving items in accessible locations.
• Reduce wasted space with compact storage solutions.
