In the contemporary business landscape, warehouse efficiency has emerged as a cornerstone of organizational prowess, serving both as a centre of expertise and a strategic tool for competitive advantage. A well-functioning warehouse not only facilitates swift fulfilment of customer needs but also significantly enhances overall business performance. This study seeks to investigate the impact of warehouse attributes on efficiency, focusing particularly on layout and operations. Through a comprehensive literature review, we explore the role of warehouse design and operational practices in driving efficiency gains. Our analysis reveals that the configuration of a warehouse plays a pivotal role in determining its operational effectiveness, with optimized layouts facilitating rapid response to customer demands. Furthermore, effective warehouse operations are identified as critical components in enhancing overall efficiency, working synergistically with layout design to bolster performance. Concurrently, inventory management has emerged as a paramount concern for organizations worldwide, directly influencing operational success. Efficient inventory practices not only enhance customer service but also mitigate stock-related challenges..
