PT. XYZ is a company engaged in the manufacture of beverages with various types of drinks both carbonated soft drinks and non-carbonated soft drinks. The company’s products are coca cola, fanta, sprite, minute maid, ades, nutriboost, etc. The company has a warehouse to store products that are produced before being distributed to consumers. There are 79 types of products stored in the warehouse. Problems faced by PT. XYZ is a product that does not have a fixed storage block yet and the company does not have a clear product grouping where the product placement is not based on the similarity of product types and the level of product activity so it takes time to look for products stored in the warehouse when needed. Therefore, it is necessary to design warehouse layout PT. XYZ by using the dedicated storage method to place the product in a fixed location and based on the level of activity. The results of product placement in the dedicated storage method show that the highest T / S value is product code 975341, with a value of 5,200 so that the product is placed in the storage block closest to the staging bays (I / O point).
