Ad-hoc Slotting
Continuous correction — re-slot only what drifted, not the whole building.
Demand drifts weekly; full re-slots happen a few times a year. Ad-hoc Slotting finds the SKUs whose locations no longer fit and generates a minimal correction plan.
Minimal
moves — only SKUs that breached coverage targets
Weekly
cadence instead of quarterly upheaval
How it works
Ad-hoc Slotting, in three moves.
A promoted SKU outgrows its pick face; a seasonal line fades and hoards prime space. Ad-hoc Slotting flags overflow and underflow against days-of-cover targets, re-slots only the breached SKUs, and freezes everything else exactly where it is.
01
Detect
Coverage maths compares each SKU’s slotted capacity to its requirement. Breaches are listed with the gap quantified.
02
Scope
Only breached SKUs enter the optimiser; the rest of the warehouse is locked. The correction cannot ripple.
03
Execute
A short movement list resolves the drift. Run it weekly and the warehouse never strays far from optimal.
