    Area of Science:

    • Operations Management
    • Logistics and Supply Chain Management
    • Industrial Engineering

    Background:

    • Chronic stockroom layout issues necessitate improved space utilization strategies.
    • Effective inventory management and organization are crucial for operational efficiency.
    • Reorganization requires data-driven decision-making regarding storage needs and item placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop decision-making guidelines for effective stockroom space utilization.
    • To provide a systematic procedure for complete stockroom reorganization.
    • To offer practical suggestions for optimizing storage areas.

    Main Methods:

    • Inventory analysis to determine required storage space.
    • Calculation of the number, size, and optimal location of storage bins.
    • Grouping of stock items into "families" based on usage and storage needs.
    • Assignment of items to locations considering frequency of use, cubic volume, and operational factors.

    Main Results:

    • A comprehensive procedure for stockroom reorganization was established.
    • Guidelines for effective space utilization were developed and tested.
    • Optimized storage solutions were implemented based on inventory characteristics and operational demands.

    Conclusions:

    • Systematic reorganization based on data analysis significantly improves stockroom efficiency.
    • The developed guidelines provide a scalable model for effective space utilization in similar environments.
    • Practical suggestions offer actionable insights for optimizing stockroom operations and inventory management.
