Since it is best to work from inside the facility out when considering new construction, dont let any building constraints restrict design. When considering existing space for the new facility, make sure the information includes accurate drawings showing column sizes and locations, dock and personnel doors and locations, ceiling height restrictions, and ceiling girder/joist construction. It is also important to collect all relevant product information pertaining to the number of stock keeping units (SKUs) to be stored and picked within the facility, along with their dimensional measurements, order history, and velocity data. If you sit down with no handling of the materials, a simple forklift license is going to be enough. Warehouse or pallet racking is a system that aids in the handling of materials on pallets and allows for a more efficient storage of the products. If you look at your average manufacturer you will find that they have a large variety of products that must be kept close and easy to retrieve. Some manufacturers may use a variety of small parts such as nuts or bolts, while others must store large motors or other boxes. Sometimes a manufacturer will deal with a specialized tool. This tool might not be used often, but when needed it must be easy to pull.Marleyhttp://www.plurk.com/p/hk9q7bnoreply@blogger.com
