Challenge
- Performance optimization: Euro Car Parts needed to improve efficiency and resource planning across its 5.25M sq ft warehouse before investing in layout and design.
- Operational complexity: considerations included VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) bulk storage, manual picking, and ‘pick and pack’ for online orders.
- Automation readiness: required integration of automated warehouse equipment into existing processes.
Solution
- Simulation-based planning: implemented Infios Simulation as a baseline model to guide rollout at three additional locations.
- Continuous improvement: using the solution since then for upcoming migration plans, process changes, and timing adjustments to ensure smooth transitions.
“Using CLASS to model the new facility was a great insight tool for the management team. It enabled us to try new ideas without the risk and to build the business case, giving us confidence in our final design.”
