Before the CapEx: how to stress-test warehouse change before you commit

A layout drawing shows what a warehouse could look like. It doesn't show what happens at peak, when the labor model doesn't hold, or when volume shifts. That gap is where capital expenditure (CapEx) decisions get risky, and where stakeholders start to disagree.

In this practical session, we'll show how to stress-test warehouse change—layout, capacity, labor, material handling equipment (MHE) and automation—before capital gets committed to it. You'll see how scenario testing answers the questions that actually decide a project:

• Will capacity hold at peak?

• Where will congestion appear?

• Is the labor model realistic?

• Which automation or MHE option performs best?

We'll also share real customer results, including a 30 percent reduction in warehouse design time, and show how simulation helps teams compare scenarios, build a stronger business case and make more confident decisions.

If you're responsible for warehouse operations, engineering or supply chain strategy, you'll leave with a clearer, more defensible view of your next decision.
