- Large signs should be used to communicate
important information such as emergency
procedures, worker expectations and hours of
operation.
16. PRINCIPLES OF WAREHOUSE LAYOUT DESIGN

Move goods in a
straight line
Use efficient materials-
handling equipment
Use an effective
storage plan
Minimize aisle space
Use maximum height
of the building

20. OBJECTIVES OF EFFICIENT
WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS
⢠Provide timely customer service.
⢠Keep track of items so they can be found readily
& correctly.
⢠Minimize the total physical effort & thus the cost
of moving goods into & out of storage.
⢠Provide communication links with customers

22. COSTS OF OPERATING A WAREHOUSE
⢠Capital costs
â Costs of space & materials handling equipment
â Clerical costs of producing reports will be reduced
because up-to-date information already exists in the
database and there are predefined reports. As well,
receiving discrepancies and inventory adjustments
will be reduced by using handheld computers and bar
codes.
⢠Operating costs
â Cost of labor
â Measure of labor productivity is the number of units
that an operator can move in a day
23. Warehouse Activities
In general , a typical warehouse can be seen
to be performing the following activities
⢠Receive goods
⢠Identify goods
⢠Dispatch goods to storage
⢠Hold goods
⢠Pick goods
⢠Marshal the shipment
⢠Dispatch the shipment
⢠Operate an information system

⢠With part number
⢠Indicate the quantity
⢠Quantity receive is recorded
27. Dispatch Goods to Storage
⢠Goods are sorted
⢠Put away goods

34. Warehouse Effectiveness
⢠Cube utilization and accessibility
⢠Stock location
⢠Order picking and assembly
⢠Packaging
35. Cube utilization and accessibility
â Goods stored not just on the floor, but in the cubic
space of the warehouse; warehouse capacity
depends on how high goods can be stored
â Accessibility means being able to get at the goods
wanted with a minimum amount of work
â Space also required for:
aisles offices
receiving order picking
shipping docks order assembly
37. Stock Location
⢠Objectives
â To provide the required customer service
â To keep track of where items are stored
â To minimize effort to receive, put away,
and retrieve items
⢠Basic Stock Locating Systems
â Group functionally related items together
â Group fast-moving items together
â Group physically similar items together
â Locate working stock and reserve stock separately
38. Stock Location
Fixed Location
⢠SKU assigned a permanent location.
⢠Fixed-location systems usually have poor cube utilization
⢠Usually used in small warehouses; throughput is small, & there
are few SKUs
Floating (Random) Location
⢠Goods stored wherever there is appropriate space
⢠Advantage is improved cube utilization
⢠It requires accurate and up-to-date information
⢠Warehouses using floating-location systems are usually
computer-based

41. Order Picking and Assembly
⢠When an order is received, items must be
obtained from the warehouse, grouped, &
prepared for shipment, systems used
â Area system - Used in small warehouses
â Zone system
â Multi-order system
42. Area System
⢠Used in small warehouses
⢠Order picker circulates throughout warehouse
selecting items on an order
⢠The order picker moves through the warehouse
and takes all the goods to shipping
self marshalling
order is complete when the picker is finished
43. Zone System
⢠Warehouse is divided into zones
⢠Order pickers work in their own area
deliver goods to the marshalling area
⢠Zones are established by related items
type of storage
type of material handling required
⢠Marshalling area then organizes orders for
shipment
44. Multi-order System
⢠Similar to zone system
⢠Multiple orders are picked together
⢠Marshalling area then sorts orders by
shipment
⢠Used where there are many items or many
small orders
45. PHYSICAL CONTROL & SECURITY - ELEMENTS
⢠Good part numbering system
⢠Simple, well-documented transaction system
â Identify the item
â Verify the quantity
â Record the transaction
â Physically execute the transaction
⢠Limited access
â Inventory must be kept in a safe, secure
(locked) place with limited general access
⢠Well-trained workforce
46. What Is Packaging?
⢠Consumer packaging
Marketing managers primarily concerned with
how the package fits into the marketing mix.
⢠Industrial packaging
Logistics managers primarily concerned with
efficient shipping characteristics including
protection, ability to withstand stacking when
on a pallet, cube, weight, shape and other
