Question -
I am moving my warehouse to a larger location 3000 sft. I need help setting up the layout. I want an efficent layout. I had 1200sft previousley and ran it by trial and error.Where can I get information on setting up shipping stations,recieving stations, and product placement+storage.
Answer -
As you are operating a very small operation it will be difficult for you to get expert help from equipment suppliers, but that would be hwre I would turn first. Internet searches should turn up articles from magazines or white papers that may help as well. Again, these will be written with much larger operations in mind but the basics should apply.
Answer I understand your problem and unfortunately, the answer goes back to the same issue: size. There are many systems that I know of to do what you are asking but all of them are VERY expensive. I suggest you continue to search the web and perhaps someone else has a program you can utilize. Beyond that, I can only suggest you set up something in Excel.
