Just the Facts
The first step in any inventory slotting exercise is gathering the necessary information about the items,locations in the warehouse and product sales.Item dimensional data may already be stored in the WMS (warehouse management system) or ERP (enterprise resource planning) system,or items and cases may need to be physically measured.The following information is typically needed for each SKU:
Item length,width,height,and weight
Active picking location(s) for the item
Case quantity and dimensions (length,width,height,and weight) for items stored by the case
Pallet quantity (or cases/tier and tiers/pallet) for items stored by the pallet
Vendor if items are to be stored in vendor groupings
Family group if items are to be stored by product groupings
Special storage conditions,if applicable (flammable,refrigeration,etc.)
Maximum stacking height or crushability factor,if applicable
Items that are often sold together,if applicable.They can be identified by analysis of the order files and/or conversations with the pickers
Items that are similar and should not be stored nearby,if applicable
Each picking location in the warehouse needs to be defined.The information typically required for each slot is its:
Location number
Usable size (length,width,height)
Weight capacity
Proximity to material handling equipment and shipping
Position within the pick path
Types of items eligible to be stored here (hazard code,vendor or family group)
Item Movement
Item movement can be captured in terms of the number of times each item was sold (hits),the quantity sold,sales forecast,and the on hand quantity.Hits and quantity sold are most typically used because high hit items should be placed in the most desirable locations and the optimal size location can be established using the quantity sold and the dimensions.If items change frequently and do not have any historical movement figures,sales forecasts may be used instead of history.On-hand quantity data is important for warehouses that choose to size locations in slow pick areas to a typical on hand inventory level,rather than a sales level.
