Things You Can Do To Boost Your Storage Capacity

By Minh Carback


If warehousing is among the most important areas of your business, a common problem that you encounter is the lack of storage space. If you don't plan and make use of strategic actions, you will almost always have a Malaysia storage facility that lacks space for your inventory. Here we will talk about the most effective ways of managing your storage space.

If your Malaysia storage facility intends to use pallet racks in storing your inventory, you should ensure that it is custom-built for keeping it safely and securely. The different pallet racks that are usually available include carton flow, narrow aisle, and mobile racking. If there is a possibility that your inventory will be expanding sometime soon, you may want to consider using adjustable racks.

Many Malaysia storage facilities are usually constructed as tall as possible so that vertical space can be used in the most efficient way possible. Efficient use of vertical space can easily provide significant boost in storage space and in return reduce costs. You may also want to consider installing custom-built mezzanine floors to achieve the same purpose.

The great thing about mezzanine floors is that they provide a low-cost way of increasing storage space as compared to building an extension of your Malaysia storage facility. This is especially true if they are made from scrap materials from your manufacturing facility. They can also be assembled and disassembled with ease which makes them very convenient to use.

In any Malaysia storage facility, it is also important that you have a proper balance in your inventory. This involves regularly reviewing your inventory systems, order histories, projections, and trends so that you can accurately determine the amount of inventory you should have on stock at a particular time. This will minimize having too much or too little stock, both of which have serious consequences.

In order to manage your inventory properly, you need to make sure that you take out items that are already damaged, spoiled, or phased out. This will ensure that your Malaysia storage facility is not holding items that have no value at all and adding up to your costs. There could also be an instance where your facility will require at total overhaul in some extreme cases.

There are also some instances wherein your Malaysia storage facility might still be out of space despite the exerted efforts, so don't overlook the possibility of using outside space for temporary storage needs. The obvious drawback is that you'll have to install some security measures to prevent your stocks from damage of theft. This includes the installation of chain-link fencing, security cameras, and security personnel.
