  1. ICBS-R Project Warehouse Zones and Locations Overview Mar 11 2008

  2. Key principles • The National Cache Managers have adopted a standard zones and location scheme to: • Take maximum advantage of the ICBS functionality • Reduce the time to bring each cache onboard the new system • Lessen the orientation time for cache workers assigned to other caches

  3. Terminology • A zoneclassifies a set of locations with common properties • Zonescan have both tasks and locations ascribed to them • A location is the physical location where inventory is stored

  4. Zone abbreviations • Standard zone abbreviations have been developed for the new ICBS • Users will see these in various screens in the application • Zone abbreviations are also incorporated in location numbering (e.g. STOR1 – 01010201) and will appear on bar coded location labels

  12. Locations • A location is always associated with zone within the cache • It has attributes like aisle number, bay number, level number and bin number • Storage locations also have a capacity as measured in inches (H x W x D)

  13. Location capacity size codes • Storage location capacity size codes will be assigned an alphabetic code according to different volume capacities measured in cubic inches (Length x Width x Height) • Location capacity size codes will be determined at each cache to match the existing location and storage configuration

  14. For example the alphabetic location size codes used at RMK are: 10 x 6.5 x 7 inches = 1/4 Bin = A code 28 x 24 x 4 inches = ½ Bin = B code 28 x 24 x 10 inches = Bin = C code 24 x 24 x 24 inches = ½ Pallet = D code 48 x 48 x 48 inches = Pallet = E code 48 x 48 x 96 inches = 2 Pallet High = F code 48 x 96 x 48 inches = 2 Pallet Wide = G code 96 x 96 x 48 inches = 4 Pallet = H code 48 x 48 x 192 inches = 4 Pallet High = I code

  15. Storage location numbering • Location numbers (in storage and forward pick zones) designate the Aisle, Bay, Level and Bin or the mnemonic ABLB • Example: 09030209 - Aisle 09 • Bay 03 • Level 02 - Bin 09

  16. Bulk zones • Bulk zones won’t necessarily have bay, level, and bin associated with them. Bulk zones with many pallets should be given row numbers. • Example: B1-01, B1-02, B1-03

  17. Other locations • For other locations, the location numbering scheme is defined based on the particular needs of the zone • For example: • SHIP-SORT1, SHIP-SORT2 • RETURN1

  18. Next step • The “Locations Numbering Aid” provides: • Instructions for numbering aisles, bays, levels and bins • Strategies to maximize the underlying picking algorithms in the application • Sample cache layouts
