APPLICATION OF ABC METHOD IN IMPROVING THE LAYOUT OF SPAREPARTS WAREHOUSE AT PT PRIME FORKLIFT SERVICE

Abstract

Warehouse efficiency plays a crucial role in optimizing inventory management and operational workflows. PT. Prime Forklift Services faces challenges in managing its spare parts warehouse, leading to inefficiencies in item retrieval, inaccurate stock records, and optimal space utilization. This study applies the ABC classification method to improve warehouse layout and streamline inventory management. By categorizing spare parts into Class A (fast-moving), Class B (medium-moving), and Class C (slow-moving), this research proposes a systematic storage arrangement to reduce retrieval time and enhance space utilization. The findings indicate that implementing the ABC method optimizes warehouse operations by minimizing unnecessary movement, improving stock accuracy, and increasing overall productivity. As a result, this study provides recommendations for adopting a structured inventory system, integrating a Warehouse Management System (WMS), and optimizing warehouse infrastructure to further enhance efficiency. These improvements are expected to contribute to better service quality and reduced operational costs for PT. Prime Forklift Services.
