NOTE

SELECTION OF WAREHOUSING METHODS

Warehousing methods refer to the various strategies and techniques used to manage and organize goods within a warehouse. Some common warehousing methods include:

  1. Random Storage: Goods are stored wherever space is available without following a specific pattern. This method is flexible but may lead to inefficiencies in locating items.
  2. Selective Pallet Racking: Pallets are stored on racks with each pallet having its own location. This method is efficient for high-density storage and allows easy access to individual items.
  3. Drive-in/Drive-through Racking: Pallets are stored in lanes with access points for forklifts to drive in and retrieve goods. Drive-in racks allow access from one side, while drive-through racks have access from both sides.
  4. Push Back Racking: Pallets are stored on nested carts that slide backward along inclined rails, allowing for multiple pallets to be stored in a single lane. When a pallet is removed, the remaining pallets roll forward.
  5. Flow Racking (Gravity Flow): Pallets or cartons are stored on inclined lanes with rollers or wheels. Items are loaded from one end and retrieved from the other, utilizing gravity for movement.
  6. Cross-Docking: Incoming goods are immediately transferred from inbound trucks to outbound trucks with little to no storage time in the warehouse. This method reduces inventory holding costs and improves order fulfillment speed.

Comparison of Different Warehousing Methods

  1. Random Storage:

   - Flexible but potentially inefficient use of space.

   - Lower accessibility and suitability for order picking.

   - Various handling equipment can be used.

  1. Selective Pallet Racking:

   - Efficient use of vertical space with high accessibility.

   - Suitable for diverse SKU types and order picking.

   - Requires forklifts or reach trucks.

  1. Drive-in/Drive-through Racking:

   - Good for high-density storage but limited accessibility.

   - Less suitable for order picking due to restricted access.

   - Requires specialized forklifts.

  1. Push Back Racking:

   - Efficient space utilization with moderate accessibility.

   - Moderate suitability for order picking.

   - Requires forklifts or pallet jacks.

  1. Flow Racking:

   - Efficient for high-volume, fast-moving items with high accessibility.

   - Suitable for order picking, especially for fast-moving goods.

   - Requires forklifts or pallet jacks.  

  1. Cross-Docking:

   - Minimizes storage space needs with immediate accessibility for outbound goods.

   - Not applicable for order picking as goods are transferred directly.

   - Requires forklifts or loading/unloading equipment.
