You can use diagrams/charts to showcase your solution or it can be as simple as explaining in a few sentences how you would store product and why.
You are in a warehouse that has a total of 3 floors. There is a freight elevator that will help you move product/SKUs between floors. You have a total of 6 SKUs on hand. Based on below points, provide an inventory management solution on how much of each SKU you will store in each floor.
Points to consider:
- Storage space is in terms of pallets. Each floor can store upto 50 pallets only.
- All product is palletized. Each pallet can hold 50 cases, all SKUs are the same size. For example, if you have 100 cases of one/any SKU, you are holding 2 pallets of that SKU in inventory. So that is taking up 2 pallet spaces in any floor that you choose to store.
- Keep demand in mind while thinking of storage. Do not worry about incoming product. Keep your focus on how you easy you would want product to flow based on demand only.
