Illustrative scenario / One aisle, two competing jobs
Look beyond the shortest route.
The current arrangement
A frequently picked item sits beside a replenishment route. A short walk can still mean waiting for shared access.
The alternative
Compare another stock position or replenishment approach in the same layout. Make the additional travel and access trade-offs visible.
The team’s decision
Check capacity, handling rules, and movement restrictions with the operations team. Use a limited pilot to see how the change performs.
A wider view of the possibilities
Every movement starts with a layout.
Review stock placement
Which items belong closer to the work they create?
Connect pick activity and stock snapshots to rack and bin locations. Review slotting options against capacity, item dimensions, and replenishment needs.
Compare picking routes
Where does a proposed route create a tradeoff?
Trace movement through the same rack layout. Compare alternatives with consistent order assumptions and check crossings, access restrictions, and dispatch handoffs.
Plan replenishment in context
Where do replenishment and picking compete for access?
Review put activity alongside pick demand. Identify shared aisles and discuss changes to placement, routes, or operating rules before a limited operational trial.
From the actual to the possible
Start with your space.
See what could change.
Review slotting, rack utilisation, and movement in the context of your facility layout and operational data.
Prepare your first facility →- The facility
- A floor plan with racks, aisles, receiving and dispatch zones, bin IDs, and relevant capacity limits.
- Stock and activity
- An item master, inventory snapshots, and pick and put reports with timestamps and location codes.
- Operating rules
- Picking and replenishment SOPs, movement restrictions, shift context, and an operator walkthrough.
A clear path to a real-world decision

Move forward together.
- 01
Map locations to the floor
Reconcile bin and rack identifiers with the facility model. Check sample stock and activity totals against source reports.
- 02
Compare one operational change
Choose a slotting, route, or replenishment question. Keep demand and task assumptions explicit when comparing the baseline and alternative.
- 03
Measure the pilot
Ask the operations owner to review the proposal. Run a scoped trial and compare observed movement, queues, or task outcomes with the baseline.
Modelled outcomes depend on source data and assumptions. Review proposals with the people responsible for the space and validate selected changes against observed results.
