Conceptual Design of Central Warehouse
Perfectly Basics
Opportunities
Perfectly Basics has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Their current warehouse, with an area of approximately 1100 m² in Haarlem, is therefore approaching its capacity limits. They have had the chance to lease the neighboring warehouse, with an area of 850 m², for the upcoming 5 years. This presents an ideal opportunity to (re)-evaluate their logistics operations and come up with a new design to create a future-proof warehouse.
Solution
Groenewout assisted Perfectly Basics in gaining a better understanding of their logistics operations by conducting data analyses of the warehouse processes. This resulted in a dynamic Power BI model, allowing real-time monitoring of the data. Based on these analyses, improvements were proposed to enhance processes, equipment usage, and storage strategies. These proposed enhancements were modeled to assess their feasibility within a new design, considering Perfectly Basics’ current growth trajectory. Lastly, the conceptual warehouse design was visualized using SketchUp.
Benefits
