:Different Storage System in a Warehouse:

Friday, January 11, 2008 Our Recommendation for Cargo Master Pte Ltd After adopting Cargo Master Pte Ltd as a warehouse so as we can get to see first hand certain types of storage systems,we have come up with our suggestion that Cargo Master Pte Ltd can adopt.Furthermore,after reading up on the various types of palletised,small size and odd size storage systems,we have come up with a few suggestions Cargo Master can adopt so as to make their warehouse operations more efficient. Given the small size of Cargo Master's warehouse of 2400 sq feet(15 by 15 metres) and 6 metres in height, the fixed location system should be adopted. Basically, a fixed location system makes use of a space in the warehouse where it is designated only to a specific product line. The layout of the warehouse is planned in such a manner whereby every product is placed and that it uses maximum space available. Currently, the warehouse is still not yet filled to its capacity and can afford to store more. Cargo Master Pte Ltd currently has no fixed location for a certain type of item. It just stores where it is required. It is a very basic warehouse with few items to store and basic handling equipment such as trolleys and pallet jets are being used. By not having any assigned location for products in the warehouse, time is reduced. This is so whereby the order picker can just randomly stock the item anywhere in the warehouse and not search for the proper location for it.On the contrary, they must also consider when it comes to stock taking. This may pose a problem as it is hard to account for all the items due to the random location of the goods. Cargo Master Pte Ltd also has 2 levels of rack. The first one is to store goods that are more frequent and urgent. The second level is to store the company's goods and items. As it is nearer to the ceiling, Cargo Master has taken into consideration of what type of goods to store at the first level and what to store on the second level. However, it can consider on perhaps a fixed area for certain type of products. The layout of the warehouse does allocate space for the different types of items. It has designated certain cabinets to store small items, racks for standard size items and also some space for odd sized items. We feel that Cargo Master just needs a few minor adjustments and it will be perfect. It is already good but we feel that there is still room for improvement.

In this blog, you will get to get to know more about the various storage systems in a warehouse. We will be using Cargo Master Pte Ltd as an illustration.
