Product Storage Congestion
Excess material clutters the aisles, impeding the flow of work and creating inventory control problems.
A one-aisle
unit load
at
North American Lighting
takes advantage of available vertical space to store pallets of raw materials.
Problem
Not enough space to store material or work in process.
Excess material clutters aisles, impeding flow of workers and material.
Ergonomics, safety and inventory control is compromised.
Solution
Take advantage of the available vertical space in the storage area(s), using:
Conventional
,
deep-lane
, and
push-back
pallet racks or
shelving
for slow-moving items.
Mini load
,
unit load
, or
high-speed box buffers
for fast-moving items.
Use
mini load
,
unit load
, or
high-speed box buffers
to provide high-density storage, automated material movement, direct delivery of material or work-in-process at an ergonomic level, and real-time inventory control.
