This week we're going to look at some of the really common issues that people have in operating their warehouses, the impact on the business, and some really easy tips to try and fix those issues.

We're not going to be going through everything, but some of the really common ones.

So you're going to have to forgive my sketching because I'm going to be drawing some warehouses during this session.

Okay, so if I just draw a very, very simple warehouse here, doesn't really matter what size it is

and we've got a let's say we've got a an in dock

and an out dock

and we've got some pallet racking running down this way comment down below why it shouldn't run

that way so we've got some pallet racking here

and we've got some assembly areas and

so on going over here what are some of the things

that we're trying to achieve with our warehouse let's just start with

that let's start with the end in mind

and I always like to think of this as a bit of a triangle

because there's three things we're trying to achieve one is we

want to be cost -effective we want to operate with you

know a fair labor cost inventory cost rental cost building cost whatever it is maintenance cost we want to try

and keep the cost down as much as possible level with

that we've got the customer service we want to be providing

a good service to our customers whether they be internal or external.

And then a very strong third one, some would of course argue that it should be number one, is safety.

So let's bear in mind those three things as we go through some of the common issues

and we'll have a look at how these issues impact cost, service and safety.

One of the most common issues that people are faced with with their warehousing is a lack of capacity.

So let's just stick capacity up here and think about the things

that impact our ability to really utilize this space well

and remember of course with warehousing we're not just looking at

the footprint we're looking at the height as well we want to utilize

that cubic capacity so number one of course is inventory

and whenever anybody says to me look we're running out of

warehouse space we've got to reconfigure our warehouse we've got to

get another warehouse I always say have you looked at the inventory

because most organizations

that I've worked with over the last 30 years carry quite a bit of slobics slow obsolete

and excess stock and of course it's that old issue

that no one wants to write it off

so i know it's a bit 101 but

if you're running out of warehouse space look at what you've

got in there have you got any slobics have you got stuff

that shouldn't be in there you'd be amazed at what ends up in warehouses the owner's boat or two

records from the office stuff

that could be off -site in a much cheaper storage location it's just cluttering the place up

so have a look at what you're storing is the key to begin with

another thing in no particular order here have a look at your aisle widths and by

that i mean the sort of face -to -face aisle width

between your pallets uh maybe you're operating at 3 .5 meters

or less or more you know a big industrial warehouse might be operating at five meters

because you've got very large pieces of equipment being moved in and out.

One of the, I was going to say easy, it's a pretty easy way to get more capacity into your warehouse.

It's actually to narrow those aisles.

You'll be saying, ah, but that means changing equipment and so on.

Not necessarily.

You may find that your equipment can operate in a slightly narrower aisle and over the sort of length of the building,

if you're able to shuffle those aisles closer together, shuffle the racking closer together you can actually fit in more rows of racking

and i've seen companies actually increase their capacity by 30

and just doing

that you may need to change some of the equipment i'm not talking about going to narrow aisle stuff

that needs guide rails and things like that but things like our articulated forklifts if you're currently using counterbalance trucks

reach trucks if you go to articulated forks you can get operate in a much narrower aisle

and you're going to get more rows of racking in there without too much impact on productivity

so have a look at your aisle widths there's another one next one

which people often don't think of is have a look at the beam height

so I have to scribble something else down here put up

with my drawing imagine we are looking now this way

and we're looking at the palette racking it's not a very thick pen is it

we're looking at the pallet racking in this dimension and we've got the beams here

make it a bit bigger on which sit our pallets

and we've got some big pallets and we've got some little pallets

and we've got some more big ones hopefully you're seeing where i'm going with this it's always interesting

when i go and see a new client's warehouse

and i like to go up to end of the warehouse

and look across the racking through the racking and

if there are lots of holes in the racking

if you can see all the way through to this wall

because of all these air gaps let's put those in another

color you know there's all these either full pallet slots empty

or more importantly you've got all these very small pallets with lots of gaps above them that's a good indication

that your beam heights are probably worthy of adjustment

and what i mean is these beam heights can go up

or down maybe the product range has changed over time maybe you've got less full pallets now

or maybe the you know the pallets have gone from 1 .5 meters high to 1 .8

or something like that just check

that the beam heights are appropriate for your pallet configurations it's

not something you want to be changing every day of the week of course

but after a few years this can get out of kilter

and you can find lots

and lots of extra space just by having a look at those beam heights

and making sure they're more appropriate the next thing I want to talk about is travel your people

and what tends to happen

when they are picking product of course as they are traveling up

and down the warehouse depending on the type of picking methodology

you're doing whether you're doing wave picks batch picks individual picks

but let's just say for a minute that you're picking an order

and you're picking something here and then you have to go around

and pick here you might be on a forklift you might

be on some sort of ride -on piece of equipment

and what we're trying to do is to minimize that travel time

because that travel time is dead time it's it's wasted time to a degree

and the way that we do that is to make sure

that we understand our product ABCs

100

which are the fast movers the A's the less fast movers the B's

101

and the slower movers C's and even the dead stock the D's and we want to try and get

102

let me get a different color here we want to try

103

and get all of the A's let's say this is our

104

inbound

105

and outbound two simple docks here we want to get all

106

of our A's kind of you know an egg shape like

107

that why because we're going to minimize the distance going to

108

and from inbound outbound and

109

so on we're not going up to the top of the

110

warehouse all the time to pick product that's easier said than done

111

if you have a very simple product range

112

and quite a simple warehouse you can people tend to know

113

which are the fast movers so you can group those nearer the dispatch area

114

makes it easier for picking faster for picking just a tip though don't put lots of products

115

that are very similar next to each other so this is not an advert for these pens or cover the brands

116

but you know don't put the green ones next to the

117

blue ones it can be very easy to to pick the wrong ones you know try

118

and put a different product in between them a little bit of a tip

119

and don't put all the very fast movers together

120

because you'll create congestion around the picking

121

if you've got a more complicated product range

122

and a more complex warehouse operation then what you want to do is to have a look at slotting

123

so the simple thing is just to understand your ABCs

124

but then you might want to go through a slotting exercise

125

and I've mentioned this a few times on the channel what

126

is slotting it's basically a little bit like putting food it in your fridge

127

so if you can imagine this is the prime real estate down near the dispatch the inbound

128

and the dispatch we want to keep our fast movers here

129

and if you think about what's in your fridge what's in the door of your fridge

130

if i looked in the door of my fridge it's going to be milk butter eggs things

131

that i go to frequently that's exactly what you should be

132

doing in your warehouse the frequently picked items should be closer to the inbound

133

and outbound the less used items i was going to say

134

that half finished in a baked beans

135

or whatever is down the back the things

136

that you don't don't go to very often down the back

137

and also high up

138

so this this is a slower area to get to we

139

want to be down the back for the slow ones

140

or up high for the slow ones

141

because we have to think in travel terms not just of horizontal

142

but vertical as well so we're trying to minimize travel distance a key one

143

and then we also want to be trying to minimize congestion

144

and how do we do

145

that I see a lot of warehouses where they don't have enough operating areas near the inbound

146

and outbound you know they try to cram in this happens

147

particularly with smaller warehouse they try to cram in as much capacity as possible

148

and there isn't enough working area

149

so we've got product coming in here we've got to lay

150

it down for checking before we're putting it away we've got

151

product here awaiting waiting to go out waiting loading we've got to lay

152

that down and have that all that checked we need space to do that

153

very very roughly if you want a rule of thumb if we've got a 10 000 square meter warehouse

154

and this is very rough how much of that area should be operating space probably 25 to 30

155

in any warehouse so it gives you an idea and while we're talking about capacity

156

let me just mention another sort of rule of thumb which is really important and that is how much to put in.

157

how full is your warehouse when it's actually full so

158

if we use this 10 000 example again imagine you've got

159

10 000 pallet positions in the warehouse how many pallets can you store

160

is it 10 000 no it's not we generally work on

161

for normal pallet racking adjustable pallet racking single deep you would

162

work on maybe 85 percent utilization of slots pallet slots

163

so your 10 000 pallet slots will actually give you about eight and a half, maybe 9 ,000 pallet locations.

164

Why?

165

Think of it a little bit like a multi -story car park, a very busy multi -story car park.

166

We've got 10 ,000 car spaces.

167

Imagine you're going to the airport or something and trying to find a parking spot.

168

If there's 10 ,000 cars in there, it's gridlocked.

169

You can't move.

170

It's exactly the same with a warehouse.

171

You've got to have gaps for people to be moving in and out.

172

You've got to be taking product from you know longer term storage down to replenishment for picking

173

you need space to move around just like in a car park

174

so you can't really have a hundred percent full just as

175

a matter of interest maybe comment down below what's the maximum

176

capacity you have ever seen in a warehouse the maximum capacity utilization i've seen 110 percent

177

so coming back to our 10 000 pallet example how does

178

that work how do you get 11 000 pallets in a

179

10 000 pallet slot warehouse well they were storing down the aisles i bet lots of you watching have seen

180

that oh we've just had an inbound shipment

181

and it you know the aisles are chocker block we're waiting to put it away

182

that is it's a bit like going shopping in your supermarket you know

183

and all the replenishers are in there with trolleys restacking the shelves and you're trying to do you're shopping.

184

It's exactly the same in a warehouse.

185

So that brings us on to a point, you know, in terms of congestion about shift patterns and things like that.

186

Make sure that you're not falling over each other.

187

And that's an absolute classic one.

188

So there we go.

189

I'll just mention that in terms of congestion.

190

One last one, a very simple little graph here.

191

Let's say you're working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

192

Have a look at the, it's a good tip to ease your labour costs, have a look at the number of orders being dispatched by day.

193

So for example, you might have Monday's a busy day

194

and then it eases off and then Wednesday's quiet and Thursday gets a bit busier and Friday's really busy before the weekend.

195

That's always an opportunity as well to reduce costs in a warehouse.

196

Have a look at how you can smooth that out and of course the same happens for inbound and outbound.

197

Look at your inbound movements, look at your outbound movements and see if there's some way of smoothing

198

that the last thing I wanted to mention was KPIs

199

because people are always asking you about KPIs for their warehouse do comment down below your favorite warehouse KPIs but

200

if you wanted me to give give you some off the

201

top of my head I would say pick rates pick rates per hour either you know individual

202

or lines per hour actual picks per hour

203

or lines per hour is a classic one you need to be able to monitor productivity of your pickers.

204

I would have a look at cost per order throughput or cost per line throughput.

205

I would have a look at some sort of utilisation of capacity and I would have a look at some accuracy figures,

206

either picking accuracy or inventory accuracy, really, really important.

207

So four KPIs there.

208

Okay, so there we go.

209

Some quick tips on warehousing.

210

these are very common issues that we see when we're doing warehouse audits for our clients

211

some of them are relatively easy to fix i mean i could talk about another 10

212

but these are the really common ones

213

that you should be able to fix yourself

214

and remember always start with the end in mind what are

215

you trying to achieve in terms of cost in terms of service enhancing safety and then work back from that.

216

Thanks for watching.

217

See you next time.

Bu videodaki dil bilgisi

Konuşmacının en çok kullandığı yapılar, videodaki sözcüklerin aynısıyla:

Yapı	Videoda
Present perfect have/has + fiilin üçüncü hâli — geçmişte olan ama şimdi de önemli olan bir eylem	I've worked · i've seen · has changed

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
