Warehouse space & sizing is a critical aspect of planning a new facility or re-designing an existing building.
Many times organizations start from a fixed view of what size the facility will be, and most times the square footage is based on affordability. The problem with this, is that the building may end up be to big, and therefore more expensive or too small and put operational constraints into the facility before the design even gets off the ground.
Warehouse layout and sizing: The correct way to size the facility is from the inside, that way the actual size required will fit the operational requirements, and will ensure that all available space is used and you are not paying for unused space.
Estimating space requirements: Short and long term, based upon forecasts, historical usage patterns, and projected changes. Developing new layouts to maximize usage of space. Short- and long-range sizing of individual areas: racks, shelving, automated systems, docks, staging, offices, and support.
Qn: How about the constraints in deciding, for warehouse design factors in land-scarce Singapore??
ReplyDeleteThe constraints in deciding for warehouse factors in Singapore are space and sizing, costs, location and labor or equipment costs.
ReplyDeleteSpace and sizing is essential as Singapore is fairly small and land is scarce. The costs in handling the warehouse and and the location price plays a part as well. If the location is considered a "hot-spot", then the rental or cost to purchase the land will be high.
Also, if the design is suitable for labor or equipment, costs will differ to maintain either one or both aspects.
We can use palletiesd storage.
ReplyDeletefor example:
adjusted pallet racking(APR)which constist of end frams and horizontal beams with adjusted beams. the beams can be adjusted depending on product height. space utilization is 50%.
Powered Mobile Storage(APR)which is a movable back to back pallet racking on powered base frams rails. It only requires one aisle. the space utilization is as high as 90%. However, it's an expensive setup.
there are many kinds of storage systems to adopt yet it has to depend on the company itself budget, the warehouse design and the goods itself.
It is common for racking to be hit by machinery such as forklifts; so to avoid damage and reduce the power of an impact, column guards or protective material can be employed around the base of your racking to keep it intact.
