Because of different inventory items, warehouses have their own separate management principles, such as food warehouses, product warehouses and industrial equipment warehouses.
1, facing the channel for storage.
In order to facilitate the goods to enter and leave the warehouse and move easily in the warehouse, the basic condition is to keep the goods facing the passage.
2. Stack as high as possible to improve storage efficiency.
In order to effectively use the internal volume of the library, it should be stacked as high as possible. In order to prevent damage and ensure safety, storage equipment such as scaffolding should be used as much as possible.
3. Select the location according to the outbound frequency.
Goods with high frequency of shipment and purchase should be placed near the entrance and exit, where it is easy to operate; Items with poor liquidity are placed a little far from the entrance and exit; Seasonal items are placed according to their seasonal characteristics.
4. The same variety shall be kept in the same place.
In order to improve work efficiency and storage efficiency, the same or similar items should be stored in the same place. The familiarity of employees with the storage location of goods in the warehouse directly affects the time of entering and leaving the warehouse. Placing similar items nearby is also an important way to improve efficiency.
5. Arrange the storage location according to the weight of the goods.
When you decorate the place, of course, you should put the heavy things under it and the light things on the shelf. Large items that need manual handling shall be subject to waist height. This is an important principle to improve efficiency and ensure safety.
6. Arrange the storage method according to the shape.
It is also important to keep the goods according to their shapes. For example, standardized goods should be placed on pallets or shelves.
7. According to the principle of first-in first-out.
The most important thing to keep is the items that are easily deteriorated, damaged and corrupted; For items whose functions are easily degraded and aged, we should try our best to speed up the turnover according to the principle of first-in first-out. Warehouse management refers to the management of commodity storage space.
Effective warehouse management needs to consider the following aspects:
1. The effective allocation of human resources is one of the important standards of efficient warehouse management.
Manual management technology can help warehouse enterprises that are troubled by employees, assist managers to decide the number of warehouse employees needed, and evaluate the performance of warehouse workers by using engineering labor standards and support systems.
In addition, the company should provide incentives to the team composed of employees rather than individuals to give full play to the team's greatest potential. Many warehouse management systems lack the consideration of manual management and performance appraisal, or lack the connection of manual management.
2. The design of warehouse layout and the improvement of equipment are the hinges of the whole logistics system. Whether the warehouse layout is reasonable or not affects the working efficiency of the whole warehouse.
For example, warehouses can be divided into different pick-up areas according to product categories. In this way, the whole box, unpacking and whole plate are operated separately, which can avoid the chaos on the spot and reduce the damage of goods.
3. Carry out additional value-added services.
Nowadays, the function of warehouse is not limited to simple storage function, so providing additional value-added services, such as distribution and processing, combined packaging and labeling, can realize the additional value-added function of warehouse and improve income and customer satisfaction.
4. The central command center in the warehouse.
The central command center can be a project management organization to guide the completion of new inventory accounts, report the implementation results and the progress of various departments, and keep in touch with external customers. The command center should include two parts: people and systems.
Warehouse management system can not only realize the functions of "in-wall" system, including incoming and outgoing goods management, inventory management, order management, picking, re-inspection, basic information management of goods, goods location, replenishment strategy, and moving combination in the warehouse, but also consider the connection between warehouse management system and transportation management system, customer management and employee management system.
