Resumo: Customers are becoming increasingly demanding and logistics is gaining more importance in order to assure customer satisfaction in terms of money, quality and time. The goal of this paper is to show that warehouses can be a source of competitive advantage and that a critical approach towards the existing available space may lead to increases in capacity with low investment. To accomplish this, a company is used as a model and suggestions for improvements are carried out. Regarding the capacity, a volume approach is taken into consideration, both in terms of the products and regarding the bins. Moreover, opportunities to achieve better space usage are presented by suggesting additional or different bins. Therefore, it is possible to reduce costs, to increase safety, to increase capacity up to 9,77%, and to help minimizing traveling distances and damages caused to the items.
