2.3 Problem and Solutions

1. Messy Warehouse Layout – Warehouse managers are under pressure to utilize their warehouse space more effectively as a result of rising storage prices. Inefficient use of space results in a lack of storage, which is still a widespread problem in warehouses. Also, a disorganized warehouse layout can slow down the movement of goods and make it more difficult for workers to find and retrieve products, resulting in slower order fulfillment and decreased productivity.

Solution–TThe Company will implement a systematic approach to warehouse organization, including assigning specific locations for products and establishing clear labeling and tracking systems. It will design the best possible warehouse layout to make the most of the available horizontal and vertical space while yet allowing adequate space for workers to move about.

2. Mismanaged Inventories –During times of high demand, e-commerce warehouses often struggle to keep up due to a range of factors. Inaccurate inventory reports can make it difficult to know which items are in stock and which are not, leading to delays in order fulfillment, potential stockouts, and dissatisfied customers. Prioritizing slow-moving products over in-demand items can further exacerbate this issue, leading to shortages of popular items. Manual restocking processes can also slow down the replenishment of stock, further impacting inventory levels.

Solution –The Company’s e-commerce warehouse management system will track inventory levels in real time so that managers have an accurate view of stock levels at all times. The system would automatically process orders, update inventory levels, and trigger replenishment processes. It will also be able to scan SKUs and barcodes to quickly locate and track inventory, thus providing better control over inventory levels, reducing the risk of stockouts, and ensuring timely replenishment of popular items.
