In this case a decision can be
taken to design the unit loads based on the pallet size. We should build some
quarter and half- pallet unit loads. So when ever the customer places and order
for a quarter pallets we have the unit load preconfigured. In case of
manufacturing industry the palletize that sits on the border and all we have to
do is set the palletize to put a pallet in place about four times as often to
build quarter pallets and twice as often to build half pallets. If it
distribution center pallets can be designed based on the unit loads as a value
added activity in distribution center.
So that we encourage
people to order in quarter and half pallet the pattern of ordering the
preconfigured loads. We can further encourage the practice of ordering price
discounts designed around efficient handling increments. As a result we would
like set price breaks at a half carton and at a full carton to encourage customers
who are almost ordering that quantity now to now order in full carton
increments.
Lines

In this we can

class warehousing. The above graph clearly says 50 % percent of the orders are
single line items, 7% is 2 line orders and 10% are 7 to 8 line orders. Justify
and see where the pressure is? It’s in single line orders. Now we need to
consider the operating strategies for this type of order profile. Mostly single
line orders are back orders and emergency orders. Excellent opportunity for
back orders is cross docking and also these types of orders can be batched
together for single line picking tours and printing single line orders in location sequence.
Item
Activity Profile
Primarily item activity profile is used
to allocate each item in the warehouse.
·
Storage mode
·
Space to allocate for each item
category.
·
Where the items are to be stored.
The
item activity profile includes the following activity distribution.
Item Popularity Distribution:
The
popularity distribution sometimes called as ABC curve represents that x percent
of the curve associated with y percent of the SKUs ranked by descending
popularity. The above graph illustrate that 10 percent most popular items
represent 70 percent of the picking activity the 50 percent most popular items
represent 90 percent of the picking activity and so on.
