Optimization Layout and Direction

The optimization of central warehouse logistics put emphasis on the investigation of business processes. On the one hand, applying the available data to analyze and optimize the layout of the warehouse after data calculation, improving the utilization rate of the warehouse, optimizing the operation line, increasing the picking efficiency, and reducing the walking distance of personnel; on the other hand, optimizing the warehousing business process, introducing equipment and barcode, and further optimizing the number of operators; meanwhile, providing a well-organized management system and standard for site management, and reminding operators of the management requirements for goods, safety, operation, equipment, and quality in a more intuitive and convenient way through visual management; conducting standard training to gradually improve the capability of on-site management personnel.

Implementation Procedures

Problems’ research and analysis: taking the central warehouse as the main body, and conducting business process research on upstream procurement, suppliers, downstream carriers and stores respectively; clarifying the whole business scenario and conducting field investigation on the business flow process; then, interviewing and communicating with the person in charge of each warehouse business, so as to comprehensively form the analysis of challenges and bottleneck of the business status survey, and summarize and conclude them to form the conclusion of the modules that can be specifically improved and enhanced.

Data analysis stage: collecting business data, including purchase data, sales data, inventory data, commodity master data, and conduct data “Communication” with the warehouse to generate data calculation conclusions, including the EIQ analysis results, ABC classification, in-warehouse and out-warehouse balance analysis, flow calculation, average inventory in stock, analysis of inbound vehicles, and providing data support available after cleaning for subsequent plan planning.

Conceptual scheme stage: introducing the concept of carrier label and container label, system management idea and interface scheme, park entry optimization scheme, procurement plan optimization, park logistics transportation line optimization, loading and shipping process optimization, inventory management optimization, inventory strategy optimization, inventory process optimization, and picking method optimization.

Detailed scheme stage: providing detailed process design, detailed information system demand scheme design, detailed park entry optimization scheme design, detailed warehouse management scheme design, detailed picking and shipping scheme design, etc.

Implementation coaching stage: tracking the implementation of the above program documents on site, providing standardized management documents, and visual management documents for goods, operations, equipment, safety and quality, providing training for senior, middle and grass-roots personnel to make the planning results replicable, and improving personnel capacity and empower personnel at all posts.

Project review: reviewing the implementation results and the scheme design, and analyzing the problems encountered in the implementation of the scheme.

Project summary: introducing box barcode and pallet label to realize process code scanning and review and logistics traceability; recommending the form of electronic label + conveyor line + recheck code reader to improve the picking efficiency and accuracy; providing standardized documents of warehouse management to provide management reference basis for various work contents on site; promoting visual management of on-site operations, visually display the management, and improve employee satisfaction; promoting data calculation basis and reliable data source for warehouse development; The concept of warehouse planning was introduced, and the on-site management and operation staff were trained on warehouse knowledge, which made the learning atmosphere of the enterprise more intense.
