Analysis of a warehouse located in India, with activity in the purchase and sale of household appliances with more than 500 references and a capacity of 9,290 square meters, using the FIFO stock control method, with a staff of 24 warehouse operators, 7 supervisors and 2 warehouse managers, with 9 own vehicles for the distribution of goods, with problems of storage capacity, humidity and difficult stock control, with lack of product tracking and lack of capacity in high season, in the months from September to December. The solutions proposed to improve the operation as a whole are the installation of a mezzanine, to increase its capacity, colour coding to control the FIFO method, Pallet Flow Rack System, to improve product control, rapid collection area, for those high rotation products and application of the ABC method, based on rotation, for a more correct organization of products within the warehouse and optimization of operator time. Finally, it is concluded to apply the ABC method, by rotation and alphanumeric coding plus colours for the location of the products and improve the FIFO.
