Warehouse Design Services

Operating an efficient, well-organized storeroom is vital to the continual success of any operation.

The proper use of valuable space to store MRO is often overlooked, or a project most clients just don’t have the time for. With Design, Turtle Integrated Supply can perform lean warehouse design services, builds, and resets. These services include MRO storeroom planning, purchasing of storage and material handling hardware, material relocation, data capture and normalization, and more. The benefits are many, including optimized space allocation that drives savings on storage expense, reduced inventory risk from damage or improper storage, less physical handling of goods, speedier retrieval of materials and kits, and less deterioration and shrinkage.

Turtle provides storeroom layout strategy consulting on designs and installations for areas like common storerooms, flammable storage, free-issue areas, and bulk spares holding. Along with the design phase, Turtle also assists in securing storage solutions by going manufacturer-direct to achieve cost savings.

New Builds/Design can include storerooms and point-of-use areas. Turtle incorporates lean storeroom design concepts for free-issue, kitted, and durable/serviceable areas. We also address the storage of critical spares and bulky items. Turtle handles the planning and execution of the project from start to finish. Consider vending or rethink the deployment of VMI programs you may already have.

Resets/Rebuilds are founded on recommendations that align with the unique needs of your facility. As part of our process, Turtle performs evaluations of your current inventory levels to mine reduction opportunities that can lead to cost savings. Segmentation and storage of inventory is concentrated by commodity class or based on high-priority items for easy access and to save time during retrieval.

Turtle puts in place a transparent and visible set of KPIs to gauge our success and an open communication path throughout the process. Leveraging our expertise results in significant savings on the capital expense for a project of this nature plus yielding additional benefits such as:

• Mitigate risk on behalf of our clients, such as stockouts and poor data quality
• Timelines that avoid lengthy relocation efforts
• Dedicated team, low (or no) labor involvement on behalf of the client
• Electronic project management in Basecamp
• Establish the shortest distance between materials and workstations
• Floors and accessways clear of fall/trip obstructions
• Min/max full inventory throughput analysis
• Inventory optimization opportunities during project
• RFID, barcoding and scanning capabilities
• Single point of contact for implementation

Through Design, Turtle accomplishes MRO storeroom optimization by relocating your current inventory to a new storeroom or designing new spaces from the outset, while also improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
