Executive intelligence — what to do next

Executive summary

Auto-generated · demo

The warehouse is operating well on quality — 98.7% pick accuracy — but is running out of usable space. Zone C congestion is now the root cause of putaway backlog, longer pick times and dock detention. Reslotting by velocity buys roughly 11% effective capacity before any capex is needed.

Key insights

  • Pick time rises sharply above 85% zone fill; Zone C is well past that point.
  • Peak movement hours are 10:00 and 16:00, both currently understaffed by one operative.
  • Cold and pharma zones have spare capacity that overflow stock could legitimately use.

Business risks

Dock detention charges
Inbound waiting cost is rising with the putaway backlog.
Capacity ceiling
Six weeks of headroom left at the current growth rate.

Growth opportunities

Velocity slotting
Roughly 11% effective capacity gain with no capital spend.
Shift rebalancing
Aligning labour to the 10:00/16:00 peaks lifts throughput 8%.
