How to Have a Stress Free Warehouse Relocation

Relocating can be rather stressful. The larger the area, the more stress one may have while relocating. Therefore, for warehouse relocation, there is a lot of preparation that needs to happen.

First off, there should be a business analysis. In this, we should analyze the changes that should be made upon relocation, any drawbacks and anything else that will help to advance the warehouse operations.

Next, there should be a market analysis that includes where the best location would be for the warehouse. This information should be based on the local and regional markets, towns and businesses in the area where you would like to relocate. A customer profile, market indicators, relevant statistics, and customer data should all be considered. Once the preferred locations become apparent, your business can begin to narrow down the choices to pinpoint the exact location. A relocation team should be assigned to help in this process and decision as well as the overall moving process.

If your warehouse is hoping to create a new image, relocating is the best time to perform this action of re branding. The market analysis part of the investigation can help to find the perfect re branding tools and slogans.

Now that your relocation team has been established, the relocation process can begin. This process should be broken down into a four-piece timeline. You will have the initial process, two weeks before the move, three days before the move and then what should happen on move-in day. The initial process will narrow down everything that needs to be moved, the people who will need to be hired such as an interior designer and movers. The post office should be contacted to arrange when to start sending the mail to the new address as well as the power company. As well as a walk through of the site and initial preparations to make the appropriate floor plans. Also, assess the equipment that you currently have and whether to replace it, fix it or update it.

Two weeks before the move you should update the entire schedule. Make sure the plans are moving well while you are still on time for the move-in date and still in the budget. Continue to stay in contact with your list of vendors. Any unused documents, furniture or electronics can be moved over to the new location at this time. A new team of onsite supervisors should be selected from the current relocation team to supervise the onsite move.

Three days before the relocation is when everyone begins to panic. Keep calm and keep going over the schedule. Make sure that everything is on time and that everything is now set up. Internet and phone connections should be operating, operating systems should be installed, the furniture should be in place and the employees should be granted access to their passes, access codes and parking space numbers.

On the move-in day, everything from the old warehouse should be placed into the new space. In the old warehouse, damages should be evaluated and the premises should be cleaned. All accounts for the warehouse should be transferred to the new site or canceled. Everything in the warehouse should be put in place on this day. The entire day should be documented to evaluate the relocation process and any problems incurred.
