Warehouse Simulation - Validate Process Flow and Work Processes
Key Points
- Strategic decisions on Pick & Replenishment Cycles
- Decision on number of MHEs (Fork Lifts)
Client's Challenge
- Decision on the number of on-time deliveries the warehouse can
make for different strategies - Calculate manpower and MHE requirement
- Analyze different strategies for picking and replenishment
patterns to optimize manpower
PMI's Approach
- Analysis of data and verification of baseline model
- The analyzed capability of the warehouse to deliver on schedule
- Analyzed the Picking and replenishment cycle for various
strategies - Sensitivity Analysis on:
- Pallet Size
- Manpower and MHE
Findings & Recommendation
- Quantified the capability of the warehouse to deliver on schedule
- Optimized the number of MHE and Workers was determined
- Recommended optimized Pallet Size
- Reorder point and replenishment quantity was quantified and
suggested based on demand - Optimized space requirements for different product types
