Inside Amazon’s Warehouse

Ever wondered what it is like in Amazon’s warehouse? Here is a brief 1 minute guide which illustrates how Amazon’s warehouse in Scotland is organised. In effect it is just like an automated library! An interesting point made about Toy Story 3 and other popular DVDs and books. Amazon’s solution is to spread stocks of those items around the warehouse - otherwise it would have dozens of pickers (including many temporary workers during the seasonal peak in demand) all fighting to get to the same warehouse location!
