e-Warehouse - Layout & Design

These e-learning modules form a streamlined, practical learning path in data-driven warehouse layout and optimisation. In Data Analysis as the Foundation of Warehouse Layout and the in-depth ABC/Pareto analysis instructional video, participants learn to analyse large datasets to categorise items as A, B or C and minimise movement and walking distances in the warehouse. Warehouse Layout & Design Methods then introduces the proven SHA (Systematic Handling Analysis) and SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) methods to map goods flows visually, calculate transport work and develop efficient layouts. Finally, the instructional video on configuring and sizing storage space brings these theoretical principles together in a concrete practical case. This e-learning package equips participants with immediately applicable skills to independently analyse, restructure and optimise logistics spaces for maximum operational efficiency.

🎯 Learning objectives

After completing this self-study package, participants will be able to:

  • Analyse & apply logistics data: Understand and apply the Pareto principle (20/80 rule) and ABC analysis to warehouse data, such as order lines and inventory turnover, to allocate items efficiently and minimise walking distances.
  • Use a structured analytical approach: Apply the PQRST key (Products, Quantity, Route, Service, Time) as a checklist for analysing and preparing reconfiguration or design projects.
  • Quantify goods flows & transport work: Map goods flows using flow charts and From-To matrices, and calculate current transport work (Distance × Intensity) to evaluate layout efficiency.
  • Apply systematic layout methods: Follow the steps of SHA (Systematic Handling Analysis) and SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) to substantiate both zone improvements and complete designs, including new-build projects.
  • Assess & compare layout alternatives: Prepare space-requirement analyses (Area Lists) and affinity diagrams (space-relationship diagrams), and compare alternative layouts objectively using weighted evaluation matrices and budget considerations.
  • Make practical warehouse fit-out decisions: Integrate physical and structural constraints, such as aisle widths, safety zones and loading-dock infrastructure, into a detailed, functional warehouse design.
