Abstract

This study aims to examine warehouse capacity utilisation, productivity and sustainability. The methods used in this study are the symptom versus problems approach (SVP), mathematical computation and simulation. By using SVP, it is confirmed that space utilisation is the source of warehouse productivity. The rate of the current warehouse is calculated using the Frazelle model, and it proves that the existing warehouse layout is under-utilised. Improvements and storage utilisation rates will then be calculated. The simulation method runs the improved warehouse layout with its main activities using the Anylogic software. With simulation, the new design layout would be adequately visualised, including the main activities and areas of operating with its throughput. Our study has suggested that complying with sustainability features and guiding low-carbon warehouse principles will assist the company one step further compared to competitors.
