How to reduce warehouse and increase stock point

Reduce warehouse to increase inventory point

A week ago, I discussed the direct shipment in another blog, avoiding a shipping method that involves too many inventory locations, which can improve the delivery speed of products. This article is to say that the cross-library work, than the direct transport to be more complex points.

You need to have a warehouse for the cross-library job, but it is not really used as a storage space, it is a place to dump the goods from different vendors. At this stacking point, the goods are classified and packaged separately for each transport location. Then, the well-packed goods loaded into the car, transported to the final destination.

The overall processing time is typically no more than one day, so that your location always plays the role of the sorting area between the point of sale and the warehouse, rather than the role of the store cargo. The cross-Library job is seamlessly integrated in the warehouse management system, which is the standard function of the system.

While your needs may be specific, here are a few tips that can be easier when you build cross-Library job rules. Organize your library area

• First, it is very important to organize the location. Define the cargo staging point (fast turnaround place), specifying that the place should be kept idle at all times in order to load and unload goods coming from other places. Of course, security is also important, which can help you improve your processing speed.
• Keep this area as small as possible, even if you have more places to use. Allowing greater space means increasing the arrival time of each item and the time of loading and unloading
• In the area that you define, it is necessary to allocate the weight of the transport effectively, safe road transport and efficient use of the vehicle requires a reasonable weight distribution. It is important to be careful about packing, which is convenient for loading in the right order.
• Finally, to avoid the hidden blind area of the goods, to ensure that each time is loaded with goods, no loss. Save time searching for lost goods.

Organization of loading and unloading rules

• Track receipts and shipping progress and make sure that the rules you set apply to every shipment. If necessary, do not hesitate to adjust the rules.
• Each piece of goods should be moved only once. More goods should be unloaded directly from the incoming lorry to the cross-Library area. Reduce the risk of damage to goods and save time. If permitted, the goods can be transferred directly from the station to the outbound transport tool, but to ensure that there is no blind area of lost goods.
• Cargo size, weight and category are different, so the unloading speed is not always the same fast, you can allow the arrival of the transport tools to wait a few minutes in order to directly transfer the goods to the outbound transport tools, which can save a lot of time.
• Workers are still the best way to do things, but some tools (such as conveyors) can help you save time and manpower, especially in a straight line that receives goods from A to B.
