Slotting
Logistics
Slotting
Assignment of products to warehouse locations based on velocity, size, affinity, ergonomics and replenishment needs.
Examples
- 01Slotting places the 200 fastest-moving items at waist height near the dispatch area and slow movers in the upper racks.
- 02Every quarter, the warehouse review checks slotting against new sales data, because fast movers change with the season.
- 03Re-slotting after the summer peak cuts travel distance per order line by 30 %.
