Slotting Strategy Alignment

High-velocity items are placed in prime pick locations critical (required)

Fast-moving SKUs should be located in easily accessible areas to reduce travel time and picking congestion.

Yes No N/A

Slow-moving items are assigned to appropriate reserve or remote locations

Low-velocity inventory should not occupy premium pick faces unless operationally justified.

Yes No N/A

Slot type matches product size, weight, and handling needs

Confirm that the storage slot type is suitable for the SKU's physical characteristics and handling method.

Slotting exceptions are documented and approved

Any non-standard slot assignments should have a documented business reason and approval trail.

Yes No N/A

Note (optional)

Reference slotting rules are current and available

The warehouse should maintain an up-to-date slotting standard or SOP for audit reference.

Yes No N/A

Velocity and Demand Fit

Slot assignment reflects current SKU velocity critical (required)

Verify that current pick frequency and replenishment patterns align with the assigned slot type.

Seasonal or promotional demand changes are reflected in slotting

Check whether temporary demand shifts have been considered in current slot placement.

Yes No N/A

Top-moving SKUs are reviewed for re-slotting opportunities

High-velocity items should be periodically reassessed for better location optimization.

Yes No N/A

Slot utilization supports efficient pick path flow

Evaluate whether the current slot layout supports efficient movement through the pick area.

Obsolete or inactive SKUs are not occupying active pick slots critical (required)

Inactive inventory should be removed from active slots to preserve capacity for active demand.

Yes No N/A

Congestion and Space Utilization

Aisles and pick faces are free from slotting-related congestion critical (required)

Check for overcrowding, blocked access, or excessive dwell time caused by poor slot placement.

Yes No N/A

High-traffic locations are not overassigned to incompatible SKUs

Verify that congested zones are not overloaded with items that create bottlenecks or repeated replenishment.

Storage capacity is balanced across slot types

Assess whether available slot types are being used in a balanced way to avoid localized overcrowding.

Yes No N/A

Oversized or awkward SKUs are assigned to safe handling locations

Items requiring special handling should be stored where they do not obstruct normal operations.

Yes No N/A

Congestion hot spots have been identified and documented

Document recurring congestion areas that may require slotting changes or process adjustments.

Replenishment Readiness

Replenishment paths are clear and accessible critical (required)

Ensure replenishment personnel can reach reserve and pick locations without avoidable obstruction.

Yes No N/A

Pick faces are sized appropriately for replenishment frequency

Verify that slot capacity matches demand so replenishment is neither excessive nor delayed.

Replenishment triggers are defined for each slot type

Check whether min/max levels, reorder points, or other triggers are established and followed.

Yes No N/A

Frequent stockouts are linked to slotting issues

Determine whether stockouts are caused or worsened by poor slot placement or insufficient pick face capacity.

Yes No N/A

Re-slotting actions have been assigned for replenishment bottlenecks

Document any corrective actions needed to improve replenishment performance.
