Therefore, working in the warehouse was delayed. This research was conducted to study the system of product placement location in the warehouse to be more efficiently and the researcher has analyzed the new location of product placement by using the linear programming method as the Fast Mover Closest to the Door Theory in conjunction with the Solver tool in Microsoft Excel Program in order to assist in finding the most appropriate of product placement. The new warehouse layout was proposed to increase the space utilization.
