Dynamic Slotting
An accurately-slotted distribution center will dramatically reduce operating costs, shorten order fulfillment cycles and improve overall distribution efficiency. One of the most critical components to optimization is “distance to travel”.
Knighted’s Dynamic Slotting solution enables your distribution center to perform at peak efficiency, resulting in increased productivity and cost reduction. Highest velocity items are strategically placed in optimum locations. This is accomplished without stopping operations to re-slot. Dynamic Slotting takes into account item history, family groupings, sales projection, replenishment history, velocity, special item characteristics and optimum size and location.
