WAREHOUSE IQC ORGANIZATION: IMPACT ON SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
Analysing the current layout and suggesting better practices
This presentation is aimed at exploring the current state of a warehouse IQC area taking into consideration the layout and organization of the IQC area. In this presentation key issues related to safety and efficiency have been presented to offer solutions for optimized space utilization and improved floor marking strategies. The goal of the PPT is to present practical solutions, which can help to create a safer environment.

Introduction
Challenges being faced in proper organization of warehouse particularly in the IQC area
The presentation represents the importance of organized layout for enhanced safety and operational efficiency
Here an effort has been made to analyse the impact of improved layout on operations
The presentation proposes recommendations to improve the organization and layout of the IQC area
Proper organization of the warehouse area plays a crucial role in enhancing and streamlining the operations of a business organization. Unorganized warehouse has a direct negative impact on the efficiency as well as on the safety. Here the focus is on the IQC area, where the goods first enter the warehouse. The priority here is to ensure effective organization of the IQC area to ensure smooth operations. After identifying the key issues, the aim is to propose practical changes that can improve the overall organization and layout of the warehouse.

Current Layout of the IQC Area
The identified issues are:
Pallets are stacked without clear structure
There are no defined and completely designated storage areas
Inconsistent pallet placement
Improper markings
Impact on workflow:
Disorganized layout damages goods
Disorganized layout increases the time to locate goods
High risk of damage due to improper stacking
The images show a disorganized IQC section. Boxes and pallets are placed randomly without clear demarcations or order. This lack of structure leads to inefficiencies, as workers take longer to find what they need, and items can become damaged due to poor stacking. Overall, the warehouse’s operational flow suffers because there is no designated system or logical pattern for storage and retrieval.

Safety Concerns
Key safety concerns
Blocked walkways can lead to hazardous situations
Unstable stacking of goods on palette can cause falls and injuries (de Oliveira et al., 2022)
The images indicate a lack of safety zones for goods and humans
Impact
Increased likelihood of accidents in the workplace
Irregulates in safety compliances that may lead to legal issues
Negative impact on the safety and well-being of employees
With improper organization of goods, the walkways are often blocked, which might lead to consequences such as difficulty for the workers to walk and other safety concerns. Unstable stacking has increased risk of goods falling down, which can lead to injuries. The lack of clearly marked safety zones means that workers and forklifts may frequently cross paths, increasing the chances of accidents. All these factors contribute to a hazardous working environment, reducing overall worker safety and morale.

Impact on Efficiency
Efficiency Challenges
Disorganized layout increases the time for locating the required goods and items
Speed of operations is also reduced owing to poor utilization of the space (vent, 2024)
Workflow in overcrowded areas tend to slow down
Impact
Delay in delivery of goods and products
Increased labor costs
Reduced productivity due to slower processing time
The current layout is not effective and efficient and...
