Optimal slotting benefits from slot maintenance performed in sync with distribution center dynamics

Cost effective slot maintenance frequency depends greatly on the dynamics of the warehousing environment. Constraints within the distribution center and factors external to the facility affect reslotting frequency and timing decisions. Once a slotting strategy has been determined and rules established, slotting technology can be employed to achieve a reslotting strategy that minimizes costs and optimizes efficiency according to predetermined warehousing objectives.
