Optimize
Space Utilization, Reduce Labor and Increase Productivity
As demand for a product changes, so should the storage
and replenishment strategies change. CatalystCommand
Slotting is a web-based application that determines the
optimal warehouse location for your products based on
demand, historical consumption trends, dimensions, weight,
and various other item and location attributes.
The application ensures that new products that are in
high demand are appropriately positioned within the forward
pick area. Positioning within the warehouse is critical
because travel time accounts for more than half of pick/replenishment
labor time. Optimizing forward picking locations reduces
labor costs and increases fulfillment rates.

Slotting is built with
a component-based architecture
that supports flexible
integration with multiple
types of warehouse management
systems. The application
supports single or multiple
warehouses under a single
instance and enables:
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
Product
placement based on user-defined conditions and attributes
including prime picking locations, weight, packaging level
(cartons, pallets, etc.), conveyable, line balancing,
closeness to same or related item
|
|
|
Slot by product movement
based on imported activity and weighted velocity data
|
|
|
Automatic capacity
calculations to determine fit and number of required locations
to fulfill minimum number of days inventory
|
|
|
Slotting analysis against
current inventory profiles or to reflect optimal slotting
recommendations

|
|
Integrated creation
of move orders
|
|
|
Interleaved
moves
|
|
|
Automatic
creation of the work tasks
to re-slot the warehouse
as part of normal replenishment

|
|
Easy
configuration of the system
through manipulation of
complex attributes using
