Things You Should Know about
Warehouse Inventory Management
• Monitor Everything Regularly
•
You need to understand that your warehouse will help improve inventory
if you inspect everything regularly. You should be reviewing your
warehouse's organization and ensure that everything is in proper shape.
Understand that you can always make certain changes to improve the
overall organization of your warehouse. Ensure that the stock is located in
a way that anyone can have safe access to it. You should also ensure that
the fast moving SKUs are not higher than shoulder and waist height or else
it will be time consuming to retrieve everything. You may also want to have
an area exclusively designed for damaged goods – it is an important
consideration especially if you have to deal with damaged goods more
frequently.
• Find the Right Place for Top Sellers
•
You should also take your time to determine your high sellers when
organizing your inventory. It makes great sense to keep your high volume
items or top sellers closer to the shipping area. It will minimize the time
required to handle your orders. By reducing labor time, you will be able to
cut the overall cost of managing your warehouse.
