The Role of Warehouse Layout and Operations in Warehouse Efficiency: A Literature Review

Organizations now use warehouse efficiency as a centre of expertise or a strategic weapon. A warehouse that works well can meet customer needs quickly and helps a business do
better. So, the goal of this study is to look at how the attributes of a warehouse affect warehouse efficiency. This study looks at two attributes about warehouses: their layout and warehouse operations. A literature review was first conducted to find the role of warehouse attributes (layout and operation) in warehouse efficiency to draw lessons from the literature. The articles that were published between 2019 and 2022 were examined. The authors evaluated the studies' eligibility, retrieved data from the studies that were included, and assessed the study's quality and bias risk. Several studies showed that the attributes of a warehouse make a big difference in how well it works by showing the good
effects on efficiency. Also, a warehouse is more efficient when it is set up in a way that makes it easy to meet customer needs quickly. Along with how the warehouse is set up, warehouse operations are a key part of making it more efficient. Layout and operations work together to make a warehouse more efficient as a whole.
