Most warehouses are never designed. Racking and shelving is purchased, a forklift is hired based on what most people do. Later, more racking and shelving are added wherever it will fit (usually the cheapest available). Some years later when the warehouse is over-filled with stock and junk, the aisles are clogged with pallets of stock that can’t be put-away and productivity is in the toilet, someone will say “we need a new warehouse!”
Moving warehouse is expensive, using off site storage is also expensive, wasting space and paying more for storage in higher lease costs is even more expensive. Far better to stay where you are and redesign the site. With modern storage systems and materials handling equipment we can often achieve a 50% increase in storage capacity and increase selectivity and speed of operation.
