THROUGH FLOW





The above diagram shows a through flow of goods in a warehouse

Similarly, it consists of 5 main areas as the U flow. The major difference between the 2 flow is the location of the loading and unloading bays. For through flow, the loading and unloading bay is located at different part of the building, often at oppostie end of a warehouse.

Advantages

  1. Reduce risk of confusion between goods in and good out
  2. Able to meet the requirements of very different good inward and dispatch vehicle in terms of platform height and the nature of unti load.
  3. More useful and applicable to warehouse which connects with its production plant

Disadvantages

  1. Necessitates all goods to travel full length of the building
  2. Lesser environmentally control
  3. Less flexible
  4. Harder for future building expansion

In addtion, the ABL we visited is a through flow designed warehouse.

  1. My Testimony Hello everyone. Am here to testify how I got my loan from Mr. Benjamin Lee after I applied several times from various loan lenders who promised to help but they never gave me the loan. Until a friend of mine introduced me to Mr. Benjamin Lee promised to help me and indeed he did as he promised without any delay.I never thought there are still reliable loan lenders until I met Mr. Benjamin Lee, who indeed helped with the loan and changed my belief. I don't know if you are in any way in need of a genuine and urgent loan, Be free to contact Mr. Benjamin Lee via
