Your facility layout has a major influence on your productivity and material handling costs. If you have not reviewed it lately, you may find good opportunities for improvement.

Better layouts...

  • Reduce travel time to and from storage areas
  • Shorten pick paths and improve picker productivity
  • Improve space utilization
  • Improve utilization of specialized equipment

In fact, a good layout is the key to lean operations and effective material flow.

Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) is a comprehensive, step-by-step method for planning any kind of warehouse or distribution center. Highly practical and easily-learned, we have taught this method to thousands of logistics professionals over the past 20 years.

  • Relationship charting – an essential step in layout planning
  • Quantified flow diagramming and what it can show you
  • How to estimate floor space required
  • How to evaluate and select the best layout for your facility
