The overall inventory is managed by applying classification tools such as ABC, FSN & HML that categorize inventory based on consumption value, issuance rate and unit price respectively. Also, it helps to appropriately position the items on the desired rack and position. The optimized layout is designed that reduces the retrieval time, uplift the storage capacity, and have cross aisles that reduce the retrieval time of any item from the warehouse. The system for proper traceability & tracking of the items is also studied that is based on the 1D Barcode. This whole study improves the overall operation of the Supply Chain.8292023829202310111011https://wseas.com/journals/asd/2023/a22asd-004(2023).pdf10.37394/232029.2023.2.11https://wseas.com/journals/asd/2023/a22asd-004(2023).pdf10.5120/8530-2062Ramaa, A., Subramanya, K.N., & Rangaswamy, T.M.
