Warehouse Organization Guidance Three

Organize the receiving process

It’s important to have a smooth receiving process for your warehouse efficiency. There are a few things you can do to make sure you have timely and organized receiving.

1.Optimize receiving space by having the proper tools and enough space to allow employees to sort and store the stock.
2.Track inventory in real-time.
3.Hire a quality control management to keep things in line and organized. Or at least have someone designated to do this.
4.Be sure to keep the receiving area clean and organized.


Proper safety organization

Safety is an absolute must in a warehouse and should be your top priority, so the more your warehouse is clutter free and organized, the better. Be sure to have proper safety precautions and signs around your warehouse where necessary. You can never be too safe!


Schedule cleanings

Keep your warehouse organized by scheduling warehouse cleanings often. You can even assign people to do certain things to maximize efficiency. The most important thing is to clear the isles and make sure everything is in its proper place.

1.Be sure to have plenty of trash cans and empty them often.
2.Warehouses have many cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, papers, plastic, and more. They need to be recycled or thrown out to prevent anything from being left on the floors.
3.Be sure your employees are following all the cleaning protocols each day.


Use bins and storage units

A great way to organize a warehouse is using plenty of bins and storage units for different warehouse supplies and needs. Use different sizes and colors for different types of products and supplies. They can be stack-able to save room and remember to keep like-pieces together.
Lockers are a great way for employees to store their personal belongings in a safe way, along with other supplies.

Have an organized supply room
An organized supply room is essential for efficiency. Have color-coded bins, proper labels, a good checklist to use everyday, and use the space wisely. Make sure everything is easy to find.
