Your top mover is probably four pallets deep.
Bringing that one SKU front and center is worth roughly 25% on its own. Most buildings were slotted once and never revisited, so fast movers drifted to back aisles while dead stock kept the golden zone. Travel is commonly half a picker's time, and re-slotting typically cuts it 15-30%.

Two ways to execute — your call
One shift
A slow afternoon or a Saturday. The full benefit lands immediately. Twelve labor hours, not a weekend of overtime.
In-flight
Moves happen as your crew works. Zero downtime, no schedule change. High-velocity SKUs are sequenced first, so the gain shows up early.
The move list is regenerated the morning of the move against live inventory — you never work from a stale list.
