WAREHOUSE LAYOUT

 

The Warehouse layout is a important 


1. Maintain FIFO :- For Ex If a multistoried warehouse latest materials need to keep on the top floor and similarly the maintain the same.

2. Manpower travelling can be reduced if A category materials keep in front.

3. To keep ABC analysis and keep stock accordingly.

4. Heavy materials at the lower will help reduce handling and damage

5. Height of the warehouse is important, a single floor warehouse is being specified, avoid multi storied.


In a multistoried, the movement of the goods reduce speed, increase time For Ex :- Travelling via lift or conveyer, pelleting and depleting is also a time wastage process.


In every warehouse plan to keep the materials will be different, its based on the product mix.

Don't consider the idea racking will not help to increase space, its only increase visibility .
