PROJECT SUMMARY
In the warehouse it is responsibility to make sure that we have sufficient location
available for all the parts that are to be stored in the warehouse. This is quite challenging
task. Warehouse space is somehow so expensive and must avoid the empty free space
and also to make sure there is free space in the warehouse when the goods arrived. If
suppose there is shortage of location when the goods arrive in the warehouse it may result
into a huge financial loss to the company and production stops in the plant. From the
above line mentioned here the project report has been prepared to reduce the space
utilized by the NON-MOVING parts for more than 60days in the warehouse. It has been
analyzed in the various format and ensured for moving pallets in the warehouse.

4. DATA ANALYSIS
The analysis has been done for finding out the NON-MOVING parts in the
warehouse. As a result of that the two parts which are not moving for more than
60days in the warehouse is

10. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THE SPACE UTILIZATION IN THE
WAREHOUSE:-
As already mentioned above, necessary
actions to be taken for these kinds of pallets in the warehouse. And manage the
space that is available and make sure that the inbound parts can be stored in the
warehouse. Information about current and forecasted space utilization can enable
the warehouse manager to make decisions about where items should be stored.
This report can help the warehouse manager to identify problems with missing
empty space for items that will arrive today or in the future and it can provide
sufficient space for the pallets to keep in unused space.
For avoiding the space related issues, we should
analyze the current capacity of the warehouse and total capacity of the warehouse.
We should segregate the pallets into moving and non moving pallets in the
warehouse which have separate locations for each and this reduce the movements
of the Fork lift for the various locations to the pick the pallets. These kind of actions
to be taken for the betterment of the space utilization in the warehouse.
