The warehouse area planning should be designed based on the warehouse conditions and business volume, such as office area, shipping area, receiving area, picking area, storage area, packaging area, consumables area, return area and other common functional areas. Obvious dividing lines or regional features, including necessary working passages, fire protection and safety isolation belts, etc. Scientific and reasonable planning is conducive to the proper storage of inventory goods, completing picking quickly, accurately and conveniently, improving efficiency and reducing errors.
The storage area where full boxes or pallets are stored has the least personnel activity, while the pick-up area with dense display racks has the most activity. If there are automated auxiliary equipment, a special layout, location map, shelves, storage locations, Safety signs, promotional slogans, etc. are arranged in different categories.
In warehousing management, we must first learn the Japanese 5S method, including sorting, arranging, sweeping, cleaning, and literacy. In order to make efficient use of space, goods must be fixed, positioned, and arranged in an orderly manner to reduce misuse. Delivery ensures “clearance after work is completed”, so that items can be clearly placed, reducing search time, eliminating industrial damage, and creating a refreshing warehouse appearance.
Secondly, based on 5S, with the help of PDCA quality improvement plan, we can find order from chaos and continue to improve the operation level: cargo location optimization, multi-level inventory, abnormal process, etc., to achieve operational procedures ,Informatization. Special emphasis should be placed on safe production in warehousing. Loading and unloading equipment, cargo handover, temporary employment, and commodities of varying weights and lengths all make the on-site safety environment complex. Potential safety hazards should be investigated, emergency response plans should be formulated, and operating procedures and operating specifications should be strictly observed. Rules are the basic principles to ensure safety.
Overseas warehouses have positions such as warehouse management, order making, customer service, settlement, account managers, receivers, pickers, packers, etc. Due to time differences, many cross-border orders and operations are asynchronous. It is not as real-time as in China, but it cannot be delayed, otherwise the delay will last for two days. Overseas warehouses must make good arrangements and communicate with sellers.
The operations in the library are dynamic, and work that lacks standards is most likely to go wrong; work that cannot be streamlined is the most likely to waste manpower; any process design is afraid of fluctuations. Whenever there is a big sale in the peak season, front-end sellers are in a hurry. , the back-end warehouse operations work all night long; excellent on-site scheduling can make the work site busy and orderly, and accurate and efficient warehousing operations ensure the efficiency of order fulfillment.
