For this reason, companies significantly reduce their profit rates in their production. Companies need to provide a minimum cost to increase these falling profits. Therefore, companies focus on warehouse design; It has become an imperative to create a warehouse design that is suitable for the technological age, will increase the rate of profit and reduce costs. In the definitions made, logistics is the flow and storage of customer requests from the starting point to the consumption point with the correctness of logistics. There are serious researches related to warehouse design, which is one of the most important processes of logistics. If the warehouse design is provided correctly, the companies increase the supply chain network to an efficient level and have a great advantage against their competitors. Warehouse systems used in conjunction with warehouse design increase work efficiency in the enterprise and ensure their formation in corporate memory. In our study, the warehouse design and systems used by a company operating in the food sector in the Organized Industrial Zone of Karaman were discussed and positive effects on the efficiency of the company were determined. It has been stated by the business administration that there are some deficiencies compared to the systems and designs used in similar companies in the sector, and their installation costs will be met in time, and it has been stated that the studies have started to eliminate the deficiencies. Since the study was carried out only in Karaman province and in one firm, also due to the fact that the company operates in the international market, all data could not be generalized. Structured Abstract: Introduction In a globalizing world, the fact that all consumers can reach what they want at any time caused the growth of the competitive environment among companies. Therefore, in order to gain an advantage both in the market and in a competitive environment, they concentrate more on the sale of goods than the production of companies. At this stage, the provision of services at the least cost has been the right way to gain competitive advantage. * Dr. Öğr.
