Abstract

The study investigates warehouse capacity optimization under dynamic demand conditions. By introducing predictive modeling, historical data on order volumes, inbound frequency, and inventory fluctuations are analyzed to achieve accurate forecasting and dynamic capacity allocation. A hybrid approach combining time-series analysis and machine learning algorithms is employed to construct the prediction model, while a multi-objective optimization method is used to balance space utilization and operational cost. The research further integrates real-time feedback and adaptive recalibration mechanisms to ensure model robustness under continuous data variation. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively enhances capacity utilization and forecasting accuracy, reduces resource waste, and provides reliable technical support for intelligent warehouse management and sustainable logistics operations, achieving an average 15% improvement in storage utilization and a 12% reduction in energy consumption compared with conventional static allocation strategies.
