The length of the delivery process is due to several factors, one of which is a less effective warehouse layout. Travel time is the time required for a vehicle to carry out activities loading goods PT. IJS from arrival to exit the warehouse.

The design of the layout design by using the technique weighted distance produces an alternative layout that shows calculation travel time a shorter
