The drawing

What a warehouse layout is.

A warehouse layout is a plan of the areas where goods are received, stored, picked, packed and shipped. It makes the path between those steps visible.

Use it to compare operational zones and routes. Validate clearances, rack design, fire access and safety requirements for the actual equipment and site.
