Does warehouse SIZE REALLY MATTER?
It does when it contains one of your company’s most valuable assets – inventory.
Warehouse sizing is complex and requires analysis of many different scenarios. However, if you set up your warehouse correctly NOW, your business will benefit enormously today and in the FUTURE.

"The purpose of a warehouse is to effectively and efficiently store, access and move inventory. Therefore, there is a fundamental and direct relationship between inventory requirements and warehouse size."
As an example:
Company A and Company B both generate $150M in sales per year.
Company A takes the standard approach to warehouse sizing, while
Company B employs GRA’s Warehouse Sizing and Design Analysis.
To pay for the difference in warehousing costs over five years, Company A would need to generate an extra
$50M in revenue (assuming margins @10%) to make up the difference on the bottom line! This represents a
33% increase in sales.
