Theoretical Capacity of the Warehouse
Not what you're looking for?
3. It would be useful to know the theoretical capacity of the warehouse that is needed, based on the items and optimum stocking level of each item. Whether the warehouse is a full-pallet-in/full-pallet-out operation, or a selective single-deep pallet rack operation can have an impact on the utilization level of the warehouse.
The type of items that will be stored will also determine the size of the warehouse needed. Some items may require special equipment for storage, such as refrigerators. This will increase the amount of space needed.
Information regarding the cost of warehouse space versus the cost of labor is also important. If warehouse space is expensive, but labor is cheap, it may be more feasible to slowly convert inventory from a multiple-pallet deep lane to a selective pallet rack as the items in inventory are sold. Although this method requires more labor, it will allow a smaller warehouse space to be used more efficiently.

- "Hello, thank you for your answer for my probability question. However, I think you interpreted the second and third question differently than was meant, as the assumption still stands that a person still independently ranks the n options first. The probability I am after is the probability that this independently determined ranking then is equal to one of the p fixed rankings. Similarly for the third question, where the x people choose their ranking independently, and then I want the probability that for x people this is equal to one particular ranking. I was wondering if you could help me with this. "
