Warehouse Design and Operations Training - Workshop Outline
Session 1: Introduction to Warehousing and Materials Handling and their impact on the concept of Total Supply Chain Management:
The Supply Objectives (The six “Rights”).
Warehouse Definitions and Operational Responsibilities.
Principles of Warehouse Design and Operations.
Load Unitisation.
Factors Affecting Warehouse Design (F.A.S.T).
Safety.
Security.
Environment.
Flexibility.
Session 2: Managing the External Flow.
The operational flow outside the building is as important as that inside:
Warehouse Yard Layout and Management.
Vehicle Manoeuvring and Parking Areas.
Warehouse Loading Dock Design.
Incoming Transport Management.
Session 3: Warehouse Storage and Handling Methods.
Choosing the most appropriate medium to handling your requirement is a major issue in creating the optimum warehouse design:
Handling Characteristics.
Available Equipment.
Warehouse Equipment Selection.
Storage Profiles and Layouts.
Session 4: Warehouse Pick Face Design.
The pick face is the critical interface between the storage and distribution processes. In efficient design will mean inefficient and costly operations:
Pick trails and Pick Face layouts
Basic Pick Face media
Free-standing Picking Modules
Pick Face technologies
Session 5: Warehouse Planning and Control.
Many warehouses are operated in a reactive mode. Forward planning and pro-active management will improve performance and add value to your supply chain:
Operational Awareness.
Goods Inwards Scheduling.
Stock Location.
Warehouse Operating Procedures.
Order Picking.
Strategic Planning.
Periodic Planning.
Performance Measurement.
Creation of Warehouse Budgets.
Session 6: Warehouse Daily Operations:
The day-to-day pressure of keeping up service levels can lead to a crisis management mentality that is purely reactive. Daily operational planning will keep control of the routine and reduce the need for “fire-fighting”:
Forecasting the day’s events.
Allocation of warehouse resources.
Shift production targets.
Hour-by-hour management.
Despatch planning.
Housekeeping.
Session 7: IT and Warehouse Management Systems
This module looks at IT system requirements from the user’s point of view:
Interfacing with corporate systems.
Defining the operational flow.
Defining the Functional Specification Requirement.
Selecting the right system.
Scanning technology.
Warehouse Design Practical Exercise:
Concurrent to the sessions will be a warehouse design exercise which will put into practice the lessons learnt in the course of the workshop. Delegates will work in syndicates, share solutions and discuss outcomes.
