In this case a decision can be taken to design the unit loads based on the pallet size. We should build some quarter and half- pallet unit loads. So when ever the customer places and order for a quarter pallets we have the unit load preconfigured. In case of manufacturing industry the palletize that sits on the border and all we have to do is set the palletize to put a pallet in place about four times as often to build quarter pallets and twice as often to build half pallets. If it distribution packers and movers magarpatta pune center pallets can be designed based on the unit loads as a value added activity in distribution center.
So that we encourage people to order in quarter and half pallet the pattern of ordering the preconfigured loads. We can further encourage the practice of ordering price discounts designed around efficient handling increments. As a result we would like set price breaks at a half carton and at a full carton to encourage customers who are almost ordering that quantity now to now order in full carton increments.
Lines per order distribution
In this we can see line per each and every customer orders. Source: Edward Frazelle, World class warehousing. The above graph clearly says 50 % percent of the orders are single line items, 7% is 2 line orders and 10% are 7 to 8 line orders. Justify and see where the pressure is? It’s in single line orders. Now we need to consider the operating strategies for this type of order profile. Mostly single line orders are back orders and emergency orders. Excellent opportunity for back packers and movers in magarpatta puneorders is cross docking and also these types of orders can be batched together for single line picking tours and printing single line orders in location sequence.
Item Activity Profile
Primarily item activity profile is used to allocate each item in the warehouse.
·Storage mode
·Space to allocate for each item category.
·Where the items are to be stored.
The item activity profile includes the following activity distribution.
Item Popularity Distribution:
The popularity distribution sometimes called as ABC curve represents that x percent of the curve associated with y percent of the SKUs ranked by descending popularity. The above graph illustrate that 10 percent most popular items represent 70 percent of the picking activity the 50 percent most popular items represent 90 percent of the picking activity and so on.
