Warehouse layout: what to decide first

A good warehouse layout starts with understanding flow, not with choosing racking.

The first question we usually get is which racking to use. It is the right question, but it arrives too early. Before choosing equipment, you need to understand flow.

Start with three data sets. First, the product profile: dimensions, weight and storage conditions. Second, the order profile: lines per order and pick frequency. Third, the time profile: inbound and outbound volume across the day and across the year.

With those three in hand, layout decisions become much clearer. If most orders carry few lines at high frequency, placing a fast-pick zone near dispatch gives the highest return.

Racking and equipment are the final answer, not the opening question.
