Warehouse Zone and Locations Numbering Aid ICBS-R Project Warehouse Zone and Locations Numbering Aid

Terminology refresher A zone classifies a set of locations with common properties Zones can have both tasks and locations ascribed to them A location is the physical location where inventory is stored

More about locations A location is always associated with a cache and a zone within the cache It has attributes like aisle number, bay number, level number and bin number Locations also have a capacity as measured in inches (H x W x D)

Location capacity size codes Location capacity size codes will be assigned an alphabetic code according to different volume capacities measured in cubic inches (Length x Width x Height) Location capacity size codes will be determined at each cache to match the existing location and storage configurement.

For example the alphabetic location size codes used at RMK are: 10 x 6.5 x 7 inches = 1/4 Bin = A code 28 x 24 x 4 inches = ½ Bin = B code 28 x 24 x 10 inches = Bin = C code 24 x 24 x 24 inches = ½ Pallet = D code 48 x 48 x 48 inches = Pallet = E code 48 x 48 x 96 inches = 2 Pallet High = F code 48 x 96 x 48 inches = 2 Pallet Wide = G code 96 x 96 x 48 inches = 4 Pallet = H code 48 x 48 x 192 inches = 4 Pallet High = I code

Storage location numbering Location numbers (in storage and forward pick zones) designate the Aisle, Bay, Level and Bin or the mnemonic ABLB Example: 09030209 - Aisle 09 Bay 03 Level 02 - Bin 09

Bulk zones Example: B1-01, B1-02, B1-03 Bulk zones won’t necessarily have bay, level, and bin associated with them. Bulk zones with many pallets should be given row numbers. Example: B1-01, B1-02, B1-03

Other locations For other locations, the location numbering scheme is defined based on the particular needs of the zone For example: SHIP-SORT 01, SHIP-SORT 02 RETURN-1

Wrap-up Many enterprises have used this tool successfully for several years We will learn more on how to best use its capabilities as we implement it at each cache
