As
you might already be aware of, one of the key elements to a
successful business is organization, be it in planning out your
goals, or in the actual arrangement of your physical space. Whether
you are a retailer with a small shop, or a wholesaler with a large
warehouse, setting up your stockroom properly is essential.
Bins
It
isn’t really efficient nor practical business to have your
employees waste their minutes scouring through shelves to return the
items they have used. Instead, set up organized and labeled bins in
accessible locations around your stock room. Toss documents, records
or tools in their appropriate bin to be organized only near the end
of the working day.
Shelves
You
can maximize the storage capacity of your stock room without
sacrificing organization by having shelves set up. If you have a lack
of space, opt for mobile shelving; this system is more or less sills
on wheels, so you can merge the shelves together to save space every
time you need to.
Lockers
Businesses
with limited space might find it useful to have their employees store
their belongings in the stock room. Nevertheless, you should make
sure that their personal belongings won’t get mixed up with the
merchandise stored in there. To avoid such confusion, you could opt
to set up lockers or cubbies in the room for employees to use.
