Chaotic storage is like organized confusion. It’s an organic shelving system without permanent areas or sections. That means there is no area just for books, or a place just for televisions (like you might expect in a retail store layout). The product’s characteristics and attributes are mostly irrelevant. What’s important is the unique barcode associated with every product that enters the warehouse.

Chaotic storage is often more effective than other storage systems because it makes the better use of smaller spaces.

## Hybrid Chaotic Storage
At LDR we use hybrid chaotic storage by utilizing a more detailed, granular system of bins and locations. See [[Location Naming]] for more details.
