Factors contributing to a well-designed storage system
Friday, January 4, 2008 @ 10:47 PM
A well-designed storage system should have the following seven criteria:
  • Good space utilisation which means by having good building volume used that minimises aisle space and use headroom.
  • Good access to goods, to ease double handling
  • Minimise travel distance
  • facilitate throughput of goods
  • Good use of systems such as stock records and locations, and stock movement control and replenishment
  • Provide security against fire, damage and theft
  • Provide an environment to prevent deterioration or contamination of stock
