Step 1: Understand Amazon FBA Capacity Limits

‍

Amazon FBA capacity limits are restrictions on the amount of inventory that sellers can send to fulfillment centers. These limits are calculated based on the seller's Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score, sales forecasts, shipment lead time, and fulfillment center capacity.

‍

Step 2: Monitor Your IPI Score

‍

Your IPI score is a critical factor in determining your FBA capacity limits. A good IPI score can help you increase your storage limits and avoid costly fees. To maintain a good IPI score, focus on optimizing your inventory turnover, reducing excess inventory, and improving your sell-through rate.

‍

Step 3: Optimize Inventory Turnover

‍

Stock items with high demand and fast turnover rates to maximize your FBA capacity limits. Analyze your sales data regularly to identify top-performing products and adjust your inventory accordingly.

‍

Step 4: Reduce Excess Inventory

‍

Minimize excess inventory by regularly monitoring stock levels and discontinuing items with low demand. Use Amazon's tools and reports to identify stagnant inventory and proactively liquidate or remove it from FBA storage.

‍

Step 5: Improve Sell-Through Rate

‍

Enhance your sell-through rate by optimizing product listings, offering competitive pricing, and providing excellent customer service. Encourage customer reviews and feedback to boost visibility and drive sales.

‍

Step 6: Maintain High In-Stock Rates

‍

Ensure consistent availability of your best-selling products by closely monitoring inventory levels and replenishing stock promptly. Use Amazon's inventory planning tools to forecast demand and prevent stockouts.

‍

Step 7: Minimize Stranded Inventory

‍

Prevent stranded inventory by regularly auditing your product listings and resolving any issues that may prevent them from being available for sale. Monitor listing health and promptly address errors or discrepancies.

‍

Step 8: Optimize Storage Space

‍

Utilize available cubic feet efficiently by considering the size and weight of your products. This will help you make the most of the storage capacity system.

‍

Step 9: Plan for Seasonal Fluctuations

‍

Take into account seasonal demand and adjust your inventory accordingly. By forecasting trends and adjusting stock levels in advance, you can ensure that you have enough inventory during peak seasons without overstocking.

‍

Step 10: Request Higher Limits

‍

If you anticipate increased sales or need more storage, you can request higher limits from Amazon. Provide them with relevant data such as past sales performance and projected growth.
