How to Layout a Warehouse or Distribution Center

Facility Expansion and Contraction

The only thing we know about tomorrow is that it will be different from today. In a warehouse, different may mean larger or smaller, faster or slower, more variety or less variety, taller or shorter, more people or fewer people, more technology or less technology, etc. To accommodate the rapid pace of change, a wisely configured warehouse layout includes expansion and contraction plans for each area in the warehouse and for the warehouse as a whole.
