• What types of products do you store?

• If you store perishable items such as food or medicine, a first in first out racking system (FIFO) is the way to go.

• If you store products with no expiry dates, then the last in first out (LIFO) inventory management system is ideal for your warehouse.

• Once you understand your inventory, you can group similar products and use the appropriate racking system for each.

Optimize Aisle Widths and Rack Spacing

• The aisle is the space between the racks.

• It is the passageway for the workers and equipment to move through.

• You want to ensure that the forklift can turn well while loading and unloading the goods in the aisle, so you must ensure that aisle width is adequate for smooth navigation but also to avoid any unnecessary wasted space.
