CHAPTER 9: PHYSICAL
INVENTORY AND WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
Warehouse Management
Objectives:
Minimize cost
Maximize customer
services
The cost of operating that may involve in
warehouse can be broken down into
capital and operating cost
Capital cost (space and
material handling equipment)
Operating cost
(labor, measures of labor productivity)
WAREHOUSE
ACTIVITIES
~ Receive the
goods = accept goods from outside and the warehouse must:
1)
Check goods against an order and bill of lading
2)
Check the quantities
3)
Check for damages and fill out
4)
Inspect goods if required
~ Identify the
goods
~ Dispatch
goods to storage
~ Holds goods
~ Pick goods
~ Marshal the
shipments
~ Dispatch the
shipments
~ Operate an
information system
1)
No. of pallet required = Total SKU/ No. of SKU
2)
Pallet positioned required = No. of pallet/ High
3)
Total no. of pallet position = No. of pallet
position x high
4)
Cube utilization = Total no. of pallet/ (pallet
position needed x high)
5)
Racking = Total of pallet/ high
EXAMPLE 1
SKU = 7000 carton
Pallet contain = 30 carton
High = 4
Pallet position required = No. of
pallet/ High
= (7000/ 30)/ 4
= 234/4
= 59 pallet position
EXAMPLE 2
Accessibility = 100 % High = 4

a)
Pallet position required = 57
b)
Cube utilization
= Total No. of pallet / (pallet position need x high)
= 215 / (57 X 4) x 100
= 94 %
c)
Racking = Total no. of pallet / high
= 215 / 4
= 54 pallet position
