When designing a material handling system, it is important to refer to best practices to ensure that all the equipment and processes—including manual, semi-automated and automated—in a facility work together as a unified, system. By analyzing the goals of the material handling process and aligning them to guidelines, such as the 10 Principles of Material Handling, a properly designed system will improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower overall handling costs in manufacturing, distribution and transportation. These principles include:
6. Space utilization: Make sure your warehouse is organized to maximize its space. Clearing out clutter from warehouse aisles, stacking inventory so that vertical height is maximized and grouping products within the same category are some ways to organize your warehouse.
