Full/
pallet mix Distribution
With
the full- partial mix distribution try determine if we need separate areas for
pallet picking and case picking. In some warehouses pallet and case picking are
performed out of the same item location aisle and/or area of the warehouse. In
general it general it is good idea to establish separate areas for pallet and
case picking- replenishing a case picking/ line area from a pallet
reserve/picking area. This distribution simply helps reinforce the point and
helps to identify warehouse within a warehouse opportunities. In this figure 50
percent of the orders are
compliable from partial pallet quantities that is
just case picks; 40 percent of the orders are fellable from full pallet
quantities and the remaining 20 percent 10 percent of the orders require both
the partial and full pallet quantities.
Should we consider a separate case picking and
pallet picking area? If we did would we pay a big penalty for mixed orders that
require merging of the partial and full pallet portions of the order? No we
really wont. That only happens 20 percent of the time. For 80 percent of the
orders zoning based on pallet or case picking creates a warehouse.
Warehouse management system should help
by classifying them immediately as a pallet pick order a carton pick order, or a
mixed order.
Full/Broken
Case Mix Distribution
In some of the organization full and broken picking
are performed in the same item location. In general it is good option to
perform in a separate area for full and broken case picking.This type of
distribution helps to reinforce the point and helps to indentify warehouse
within a warehouse opportunities. Once the customer order reaches the warehouse
management system it should classify them immediately as pallet pick order
carton pick order or a mix order. FMCG business services most of the orders as
mix order distribution since the products are assigned as full pallet and
broken cases separately it is easy to pick the materials against the mixed
customer orders.
Order
increment Distribution
With the order increment distribution we determine
the portion of unit load requested on a customer order. Assume there are 100
cartons in a pallet and the customer orders only 50 cartons. In that case he
ordered 50% of the pallet. In some cases customer will order only 20% of the
pallet this is an unusual disribuion. Article Related By
