Space management is key for all the aspects of operational success including safety, quality and productivity at FCs. We have a single-threaded leader (Regional Space Manager) along with one Space Management Lead in each of the five countries to standardize and improve our space management strategy in the region.

The team of AMET Space Management will lead the continuous improvement initiative and take care all the KTLO (Keep The Lights On) configuration changes for any space management related topics.

At Amazon, Space management in FCs refers to “the strategic and efficient utilization of available storage capacity to optimize inventory storage and operations”. In AMET, we break it down into the seven major buckets:

1. Standardization/optimization of space management configurations (5S and KTLO of space management)
2. Stow strategy (proactive inventory placement optimization)
3. Consolidation strategy (reactive inventory placement optimization)
4. Quantifiable performance tracking (Documenting space MBR/WBR P0 metrics)

Bridging between Capacity Planning and Operation:
