aisle space |
|
|
high turnover items
|
more accessible areas
|
|
|
large and bulky items

|
|
general area configuration
|
pick through whole warehouse
order picking and preparation mixed with storage area access to all products |
|
|
modified area configuration
|
order picking racks
order picking and preparation separated from storage area get fastest turnover closest to outbound dock |

|
What are the basic objectives of materials handling?
|
to increase the usable capacity of the warehouse
to improve operating efficiency to have effective working conditions to respond quickly and efficiently to customer's orders to minimize costs |
|
|
increase the usable capacity of the warehouse
|
use the height of building as much as possible
minimize aisle space |
|
|
improve operating efficiency
|
reduce the amount or the number of times goods are handled
|
|
|
effective working conditions
|
minimize the possibility of danger to workers
minimize monotonous and or heavy manual labor automation of warehouse |
|
|
minimize costs
|
more and fast throughput
more efficient utilization of space better retrieval of items |
|
|
how can materials handling systems increase the effective capacity of the warehouse
|
use the height of building
|
|
|

|
|
random locator
|
routed to any available space
better use of space longer retrieval time need effective retrieval code automated systems |
|
|
fixed locator
|
routed to a given location
poor use of space short retrieval time do not need retrieval code labor intensive systems |
|
|
what are methods used in order picking
|
zoning
sequencing batching can use all together |
|
|
zoning
|
assigning of individual order pickers to serve only a limited number of stock items instead of routing them through the entire stock layout
only fills a portion balanced portions must be reassembled into a complete order |
|
|
sequencing
|
orders are filled in the sequence in which items appear on the order picking route
avoids backtracking must occur before pick is started |
|
|
batching
|
the selection of more than one order on a single pass
save time complicates reassembling orders increases order-filling time |
|
|
cuber per order index
|
a ratio
total cubic footage / number of daily orders products with low index values are nearest outbound dock |
|
|
item popularity
|
fastest moving items nearest outbound dock
|
|
|
item size
|
more of the smaller items can be stored in a bay than large items
smaller items nearest outbound dock |
