PRINCIPLES OF WAREHOUSING

Design Criteria-Addresses physical

facility and product movement

 Vertical space utilization

 Single storey, avoid multiple storey
 Maximum utilization of available cubic space
 Straight product flow
 Receive at one end, stored in the middle, and ship
from other end
 CONTINUED…
Handling technology

 Focuses on effectiveness and efficiency in material

handling
 Movement continuity and movement scale economies
 Movement of continuity-longer move instead of small
moves
 More exchange more danger to damage products
 Movement of scale-handle the largest quantities
possible
 Use pallets or containers

Storage Plan

VOLUME
 Warehouse design should consider product
characteristics such as volume, weight and storage
 High volume-store in lower shelf and near to exit point
 Low Volume-Store in middle shelf

WEIGHT
 High weight-low to ground,
 Low density product-place at higher levels.
STORAGE AND HANDLING SYSTEMS

 Warehouse storage space is expensive, so it makes sense

to make the most of your warehouse storage capacity in
order to reduce carrying costs and increase material
handling efficiency.

 Improve forecast accuracy and inventory management

 Optimize your warehouse layout design
 Use all the space you have effectively
 Maximize your warehouse material handling equipment
 AS/RS warehouse storage solutions
 ORDER PICKING AND
REPLENISHMENT
Supply chain experts have proposed a number of ways to
classify order picking systems. Here, we take a look at
order picking systems:

Picker to Part

Part to Picker

Sorting System

Pick to Box

 With the ever increasing pressure for rapid order fulfilment

expanding, there is a constant need to streamline, improve
and reassess existing warehouse operations practices.

 There have been many recent advancements in picking

technology but, one of the often over-looked areas of
improvement is replenishment.

By the usage of the following six steps, order

replenishment could be ensured:

Select the right replenishment for your needs

Have a plan for emergency replenishment needs
Consider replenishing directly after receiving for fast-
moving inventory
Configure your WMS with triggers to automate reordering
Enhance picking accuracy with automation
Use collaborative robots to interleave picking and re-
stocking with the same workflow
