Personnel: What staff is available?
The staff is one of the most important assets of any company. Knowing the number of
employees, their level of training, how they are organised, the shifts they work, and other factors,
can help refine the proposed design of the warehouse. The introduction of automated
components, warehouse management software and health and safety standards mean that
nowadays operators are much more specialised than before.
Management and company policy: How is the warehouse organised?
Good warehouse management means that the necessary stock is available, the warehouse
provides the best possible service, has a high level of occupancy and optimises internal operation
times, among many other things. It is therefore a basic factor.
Understanding how installations are managed allows us to assess their effectiveness and define
which processes can be optimised during their design and planning. For example, a change in the
way the shelves are distributed can simplify the picking processes.
Today, the trend is increasingly geared towards professional facilities using
warehouse
management software (WMS)
to ensure the control of all these processes.
Each of these factors influences the design to a greater or lesser extent, in accordance with the
needs and characteristics of each business.
