Putaway Principles
 primary
objective: touch reduction and
process streamlining

Distance Reduction in Putaway
 how
to reduce travel distance?
 batched
and sequenced putaway
 interleaving
and continuous moves
 6 
Efficiency Improvement
 directed
 using
putaway
WMS to direct storage locations
 benefits:
to maximize storage location utilization,
product rotation, retrieval productivity

 10 
Effect of Rack Type and Layout

characteristics varying with rack type

example: single-deep versus double-deep

a venue of 109 slots with the door at the middle of the 10-slot side

aisle of one slot wide

which one is better, single- or double-deep?

statistics

utilization of area for:

33 different types of pallets

49 different types of pallets
 11 
Pallet Systems: Block Stacking
 factors
to consider
 safe
limits, load stackability, load weights,
pallet conditions, floor loading restrictions,
weather, vehicle life, height capacity,
crushability of the loads, building clear height
 12 
Factors to Select
the Pallet Storage Equipment
 cost
per position, position storage density,
load access, throughput capacity, inventory
& location control, FIFO maintenance,
ability for variable load, ease of installation
