1. Warehouse Solution Design & Optimization

Design warehouse layouts, storage solutions, and material flows for new sites, expansion projects, and improvements to existing operations.
Analyze SKU profiles, inventory levels, order characteristics, and peak demand to define solution requirements.
Calculate storage capacity, operational throughput requirements to support solution sizing.
Develop end-to-end operational processes covering inbound, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing, and outbound.
Evaluate design alternatives to balance space utilization, productivity, service levels, cost, safety, and future scalability.

2. Automation & Technology Solutions

Identify and assess opportunities for warehouse automation, including Good to Person (G2P), automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), robotics, and packing equipment.
Translate operational needs into technical specifications, requests for proposals (RFPs), and measurable performance requirements.
Review vendor proposals, layouts, equipment sizing, and simulation results to validate assumptions and solution feasibility.
Collaborate with Operations, Operational Excellence, and Product teams to define system integration requirements and exception handling processes.
Support automation trials, performance testing, and scale-up planning.

3. Data Analysis & Business Case Development

Analyze operational data using Excel, SQL, and BI tools to identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities.
Develop capacity and productivity models to compare manual, semi-automated, and automated solutions.
Prepare investment and operating cost estimates, including CAPEX, OPEX, and payback analysis.
Conduct scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess solution performance under changes in volume, SKU mix, and operational assumptions.
Validate actual performance against design assumptions and recommend improvements.

4. Stakeholder Management & Project Execution

Collaborate with Operations, Operational Excellence, IT, HSE, Procurement, and vendors to align solution design and implementation requirements.
Prepare design documentation, solution comparisons, and recommendations to support decision-making.
Coordinate design reviews and track technical clarifications, dependencies, and changes throughout the project.
Support installation, commissioning, user acceptance testing, and go-live readiness against agreed performance criteria.
Ensure proper handover of layouts, specifications, operating procedures, and training materials to Operations.
