In this paper, solutions are developed to optimize the logistics processes of the finished goods warehouse. Since the main goal of warehouse logistics is to deliver products to the right place, at the right time and in the right quantity. It is very important to effectively organize all the processes in the warehouse. The study solved the problem of inefficient storage of products at the warehouse, which led not only to an increase of picker’s travel time during order picking but also to some errors during order processing. Interviews and surveys of warehouse managers, ABC analysis was conducted. Discrepancies of the storage of the actual and planned product are identified and analyzed. As a result, proposals were developed to optimize the process of storage of products, which would generally optimize the process of picking orders at the warehouse.
