There was this warehouse being constructed a huge one but almost 100m away from the main road and the only connectivity being a 10ft narrow way. After construction the warehouse was in demand for big cargo storage, however got rejected everytime by the clients due to inaccessibility for bigger vehicles. And the size of the warehouse simply was not suitable for smaller clients to use it to the maximum. Even if the warehouse is divided into sections to accommodate multiple clients the traffic of vehicles for all these clients put together was far more than what the infrastructure could have supported.

So an efficient warehouse planning starts from the building layout planning and space selection. Some important points to note could be –

~ The site finalized for the warehouse should be accessible for the type of vehicles it is to cater to.
~ There must be a space for future expansion
~ Handling traffic of incoming and outgoing vehicles efficiently is the key for good productivity.
~ Parking in the warehouse should be adequate.
~ The unloading and loading bays should be planned according to the current and future plans of the commodity to be handled.
~ The no of openings of the warehouse must ensure no crisscross movement of the material and preferably the incoming and outgoing material gates should not be the same.
~ As far as possible reduce the Km per MT movement of goods within the warehouse.
