Bremerton FoodLine

Warehouse Optimization

The goal of this project was to find a better way to manage client traffic through Bremerton Foodline's market-style food bank and improve the use of warehouse space that supports food distribution, clothing, senior food packs, pet food, and regional redistribution services. The student team developed an operations improvement plan focused on reducing client wait times, particularly at checkout, while supporting safe, dignified service. The team also addressed warehouse layout and workflow across restocking, repacking, sorting, and storage activities tied to Bremerton Foodline’s role in receiving large shipments, handling inventory, and supplying 17 partner organizations in Kitsap and North Mason counties. The design enables more efficient movement of people and products through the facility and supports higher-volume operations within the organization’s existing space.
