Small businesses at times seems to be ignoring many a thing, by just treating them as one more jargon in this new age of super complicated words and synonyms.
Process Re-Engineering can be a game changer to businesses, as it can perform miracles on a failing or stagnant company and open new doors for a company on steady path of growth. However, the process is tricky and needs some pain-killers to supress the pain of change and pain of tearing down what we are used to and feel comfortable with.
If ignoring this was a mistake, the next big mistake could be to settle for a cheap and basic process re-engineering tool in absence of an expert guidance. It could be that you tried saving a cent and lost a dollar.

Remember that metaphor of bullets and toilet papers. If your warehouses cannot manage to give each item its due importance and consideration, you are at the risk of losing the show frequently and intermittently.
Some of the consequences of a bad layout could be –
~ Reduced productivity
~ Loss of inventory or excess inventory due to wrong tracking
~ Higher time to fulfill orders
~ Hassles in material traffic inside the warehouse
~ Loss of sales or delay in feeding the manufacturing
~ Loss due to unavailability of material on right time despite it being available
~ Missed re-order levels for critical components
~ System vs physical inventory mismatch
A proper warehouse layout must include and emphasize on the following sections within the warehouse –
~ Receiving
~ Shipping
~ Assembly and special handling areas
~ Quality inspection
~ Reverse storage
~ Forward picking
~ Cross docking
Also the quality & type of storage and movement equipment is very critical for the effective use of the premium space of the warehouse. Utilizing the height for storage and not clubbed with effective handling tools with desired reach can be a nightmare for the warehouse team.
Similarly the receiving area and the storage area if is far off from each other and equally critical is the distance from storage to dispatch – it would mean a huge loss in unwarranted movement of cargo within the warehouse costing time, money and resources.
If the storage is not adequate w.r.t. the no of SKU and their optimum inventory level – it can jeopardize even the best layout planning’s in the world.
A good layout decides the optimum use of all resources from infrastructure to people.
The most common error people make is not to spend on a quality warehouse one-time and then keep suffering due to significant but indirect losses in productivity, sales and efficiency of all areas.
