Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common warehouse layout design?
The most common warehouse layout design has the aisles leading directly to the shipping and receiving docks. Cross aisles with tunnels will be placed to ensure good workflow and access to fire exits as required.
How do I optimize space in my warehouse?
The top three ways to optimize space in your warehouse are:
- Utilize vertical space with mezzanine levels, high-bay racking, and vertical lift modules.
- Arranging inventory so that high-demand items are closest to the ground level and located near packing and shipping zones to maximize access and reduce travel time.
- In new warehouses, streamline aisle widths to ensure aisles are only as wide as they need to be. In existing warehouses, ensure products are not stored in the aisles to provide clear and efficient access to pallet racking.
What are some common mistakes to avoid in layout design?
Common mistakes to avoid when designing a warehouse layout include ignoring future growth by designing only for the current inventory, prioritizing storage over flow and creating congestion bottlenecks, and forgetting about returns that would require dedicated space and equipment.
How do safety regulations impact the layout?
Safety must dictate your layout. Ensure compliance with building code regulations for egress and signage. Map out clear, unobstructed walkways, clearly marked emergency exits, and utilize guarding to provide pedestrian safety.
