How to Layout a Warehouse or Distribution Center

Bay Matching

Unused clear height.

What’s wrong with this picture? First, the clear height is very underutilized. Mezzanines could easily be installed. Second, the aisles are over-sized. The combination yields a highly underutilized building cube capacity. Many of our clients, only consider the utilization of their footprint. The true measure of building utilization, is the utilization of its cube capacity. Bay matching assigns storage intensive activities, to high-bay space, and labor intensive activities, to low-bay space.

Oversized aisles.
