When the business of an e-commerce company develops to a certain stage, problems with warehouse management often arise, especially when the number of orders increases and the demand for products increases, the problems of warehouse management become more and more obvious. For example, in the stage of product entry, it is easy to have wrong packages or replacement packages due to the wide variety of products, and there will be mismatches and confusion in product types during the acceptance of entry. Standardized warehousing can improve the overall efficiency of picking.
9.1 Standardized storage space: write shelf position information
In the inventory management stage, if the quality traceability system of the source of goods is not well established, the warehouse management is prone to confusion, resulting in low picking efficiency, and the phenomenon of sufficient inventory but no goods often occurs; in the stage of product exit, the logistics company often has an irregular delivery time, and the business documents need to be supplemented every other day, and the business data needs to be controlled to record the order in time.
9.1.1 Segment numbering
Segment numbering is to divide the warehouse into several sections and then number each section. This method uses the segment as the unit, and each number represents a storage area. Compared with other storage methods, segment numbering is more suitable for warehouses with simple storage locations and no shelves, and the storage area can be divided into several segments.
9.1.2 Divide into several item groups
Divide into several item groups means to screen and collect highly related commodities, divide them into several item groups, and then number each item group. Compared with other storage methods, this method is more suitable for sellers who have a large difference between the commodities stored in commodity groups and the commodities sold.
9.1.3 Numbering by address
Numbering by address is to encode the warehouse number, segment, row, line, layer, grid, etc. Four groups of numbers can be used to indicate the location of the commodity in the warehouse layer. The four groups of numbers represent the warehouse number, shelf number, shelf layer number and the number of each grid in each layer. For example, 2-13-1-7 means that the location of the product in the warehouse is: Warehouse No. 2, Shelf No. 13, Seventh grid on the first floor. Based on the shelf location information, we can quickly understand the specific storage location of a certain product.
Segment numbering, item grouping, and address numbering are three common storage methods for warehouse shelf location numbering. In fact, each method is not independent of each other. We can use them in combination according to the actual storage situation.
