Slotting

Deciding where each item should be stored to optimise handling.

Slotting is the placement strategy for inventory within a warehouse — putting fast movers near dispatch, grouping items picked together, and matching locations to item size and velocity.

Good slotting reduces travel time and congestion, directly improving picking productivity.
