Plan shelves around actual cartons; unsuitable dimensions or access can leave levels unusable.

Define the task first. Sketch carton size, weight and delivery order. Trial load placement and shelf changes with the operator.

Data needed for the decision

  • Carton outer dimensions
  • Actual load per level
  • Access direction
  • Shelf-change step

Operating consequence

Verify load limits in model documentation; carton count alone does not approve a plan.
