9 Essential Tips to Help Re-Organize Your Stockroom

An organized and tidy stockroom can quickly become overrun with stock, packaging and other items that impact on the efficiency and safety of the stores area. When this happens it is essential that you allocate enough time to assess your current storage requirements and make the important changes to improve your business.

1. Begin by removing everything from the stockroom, try to group similar products together as you go. 2. Assess your existing shelving, racking and storage boxes to decide if anything new is required. 3. Thoroughly clean the stockroom whilst it is empty. 4. Place smaller items into plastic storage boxes or containers. 5. Label everything clearly. 6. Create specific storage areas for groups of products. 7. Keep popular products close to hand, infrequently used items can be stored in less accessible areas. 8. Allocate an area for the temporary storage of incoming stock. 9. Create an inventory sheet for the room that includes stock locations.
