Warehouse arrangement & set-up: An introduction to define and design

Warehouse arrangement and setup refers to the physical structures within and around a warehouse: clearly defined and intentionally designed.

Before your warehouse is even physically laid out, you should be able to visualize how your inventory, equipment, and team members will flow throughout the building. You also need to be fully confident that the design of your warehouse enables this flow at all times — and never hinders it.

Throughout the following sections, we’ll walk you through four key aspects of warehouse arrangement and setup, including:

  • Warehouse layout
  • Warehouse location management
  • Warehouse inventory management
  • Warehouse safety management
