Outline • putaway • pallet storage and retrieval • case retrieval • project
Operations in Warehouses • receiving • prepackaging (optional) • putaway • storage • order picking • packaging and/or pricing (optional) • sorting and/or accumulation • unitizing and shipping
Putaway Principles Putaway: The logistics process in a warehouse to put an incoming load after receiving to its final storage location
Points to Discuss • putaway • touch reduction, distance reduction, efficiency improvement • pallet storage and retrieval • effect of rack type • effect of layout • factors to select • pallet storage equipment • pallet retrieval equipment • pallet retrieval
Putaway Principles • primary objective: touch reduction and process streamlining • touch reduction: in increasing number of touches permanent storage primary picking locations direct shipping cross-docking marshalling area
Distance Reduction in Putaway • how to reduce travel distance? • batched and sequenced putaway • interleaving and continuous moves
Efficiency Improvement • directed putaway • using WMS to direct storage locations • benefits: to maximize storage location utilization, product rotation, retrieval productivity
Storage System • classification by size • pallets, boxes, small items • two types of equipment • storage and retrieval
Pallet Storage System • storage racks • Floor Storage, Stacking Frames, Single-Deep, Double-Deep, Drive-in Rack, Drive Thru, Flow Rack, Push Back, Mobile Rack, Cantilever • retrieval equipment • Counter-balance, Straddle, Straddle Reach, Side-loader, Turret, Hybrid, AS/RS
Effect of Rack Type and Layout • characteristics varying with rack type • example: single-deep versus double-deep • a venue of 109 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
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
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

Factors to Select Pallet Retrieval Equipment • vehicle cost, life height capacity, aisle width, weight capacity, life speed, travel speed

Miscellaneous Issues • trade-off between aisle width & depth • honeycombing effect • co-existence of several systems in a warehouse • flow racks for fast moving goods & single-deep racks for slow moving goods
Case Picking Systems • When is it unnecessary to discuss case storage systems? • incoming in pallet form
Case Picking Systems • decisions • how to pick • palletizing or not • if so, where and how
Year Rev. (NT$) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Case Picking Systems 10 million • how to do it in • lativ • Amazon • the distribution center of Shiseido discussed before 100 million 370 million 1.5 billion > 4 billion
Case Picking Systems • decisions: palletizing or not; if so, where and how • three types • pick face palletizing system • downstream palletizing system • direct loading system (no palletization) • criteria • goods characteristics, costs, pick rates
Pick Face Palletizing Systems • palletizing during picking • pallet jack picking • lift truck picking • pallet trains • order picker trucks • end-of-aisle AS/RS • robotic case picking
sort-ing Downstream Palletizing • two components, conveying to downstream and palletizing there • conveying downstream • pick-to-conveyor • case sorting systems • pick-car systems • automated case dispensing • tier (or layer) picking
Downstream Palletizing • palletizing systems • manual palletizing • mechanical palletizing • robotic palletizing
Picking Rates Initial Cost Pallet Jack 100-250 $1K to @10 K /vehicle Order Picker Truck 50-100 $30K/vehicle Pick to Roller 125-250 $1K/ft Pick to Belt 250-400 $200/ft + $2K/divert End-ofAisle AS/RS 200-300 $300K to $450K /aisle Auto Extract 500-800 $200K/unit = $130/lane Tier Picking 1,000-1,500 $150K/unit Case Picking System and Productivity Characteristics
The Main Question • how to design a warehouse system • combination of equipment • layout
Project • individual project • on a topic related to warehousing, warehouses, or both • discussing with Wan before finalizing the topic • three components: proposal, final presentation, and report
Project • proposal: a 10-minute presentation, possibly including the following • introducing the problem • explaining its importance, relevance, and value • describing your procedure, method, expected results • final presentation: 10 minutes • report • (at least) 10 A4 pages • one a half line spacing • 12-ponit Times New Roman font • following the format of a technical paper
Papers for the Second Half Semester • put in the general office
