Dynamic Slotting – Velocity Model

Location of materials to optimize storage and order fulfillment rates

◦ Usage detail analyzed to create ABC-like hierarchy for material location

◦ Items assigned space by Velocity code

◦ Directed Put-away assigns location based on this code

◦ Periodic analysis of Velocity Code vs. actual location

◦ Warehouse location re-organization generates move tasks in Task Manager

Packaging Types Full Pallet Cartons Inner pack / outer pack SKU’s License Plating
