The requirement for high levels of customer service, increasing numbers of SKUs and high labor costs have dramatically increased the complexity of warehouse operations. It is no longer sufficient to manage a warehouse based on a simple, arbitrary “ABC” classification of SKUs, which treats all those in a category as if they were identical. Instead, each decision – such as where to store or where to pick product – must be based on careful engineering and economic analysis. Each SKU must identify its own cheapest, fastest path through the warehouse to the customer and then compete with all the other SKUs for the necessary resources. This results in warehouse operations that are finely tuned to patterns of customer orders and maximally efficient. Learn the concepts necessary to address modern warehouse trade-offs between space and time in optimizing and managing your warehouse.
Essential learning for those who are seeking cost reductions through better handling methods. Also valuable for those who must replace, upgrade, or add material handling equipment. The two-day course will include case examples and a guided exercise to ensure mastery of the techniques presented.
Supply chain and logistics consultants, supply chain engineers and analysts, facility engineers, and warehouse supervisors and team leaders
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
None.
This course is part of the Distribution Operations Analysis & Design (DOAD) Certificate.
]]>New for 2026! Supply Chain Day is expanding to include Health & Humanitarian Systems. In addition to supply chain organizations, students across the Georgia Tech and the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering will connect with organizations applying systems and operations thinking to healthcare and humanitarian challenges, spanning healthcare operations and analytics, consulting, payers, health tech, med device, public and global health.
We strongly encourage you to attend to seek full-time employment, internships, and projects (rather than waiting until the end of the semester).
