It is easy to let your warehouse operations and layout remain the same and just adjust your processes to accommodate for existing issues. After all, there are many other things to keep you busy on a given day, and everything seems to work out okay in the long run, so why mess with it?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an ideal world.
