1:49 the forklift hit the storage rafth, great video btw

[@supplychainsecrets]

Thank you!

[@adrianevergara8594]

Ahahaha

[@jamespaul1097]

I love the fact , that with all the top end management ideas of how to set out and run a warehouse. It ultimately boils down to the Dolly Dimple on a forklift @ 1:49 who can, t even line up a pallet without hitting the racks

[@supplychainsecrets]

LOL. You're right. Never noticed that 🙂

[@kevinocampos8964]

lmaoooo i noticed too

[@sergeyboitsov8643]

Have been at a couple Rus WHs - in 95% pickers didn't touch them. Lifehack - some forklifts have cams on forks :)

HOLY CRAP THE GUY HITTING THE SHELVING HAD ME DYING

[@Humblyguided]

This is brief information are very valuable. Thanks for sharing the principle as short manner.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Our pleasure

[@FitoutmyofficeGlenside]

At a time when technology is rapidly evolving and global markets become increasingly competitive, the design and fit out of interior facilities is a key element in the potential success of a light industrial enterprise. By talking through the FACT principles with our clients, we are able to design productive and efficient warehouses.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Good to hear!

[@germainlawrence6154]

Closely related to Material Resource Planning (MRP II) and Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP). The FACT requirements are identical to the FAST components ; Flow, Accessibility, Storage and Throughout.

[@sergeyboitsov8643]

Agree with each word! (adding a comment to promote the channel and maybe someone involved to SCM will watch it and get new knowledge)

How do you ensure a level floor across vast expanses?

[@erikadwiharyanti6933]

Thank u for your information. And I want to ask, if we have many types of good in warehouse but just one consignee. And how we can arrange and make a efficient layout?

[@supplychainsecrets]

That is a huge question and really opens up the whole topic of warehouse management. Good systems and processes, logical locations for stock based on throughput, picking methods, order assembly processes etc etc

[@shanecolton3500]

Interesting video. When I worked in reorder team for a large grocery retailer, our distribution centres were constantly operating at 97 to 98%. Often it would be at 102% for a few hours at peak seasonal times with stock sitting on trailers or in loading bay. If the warehouses did happen to get down to 90% on a certain day, supply chain mgmt would be asking questions to us for fear of service level dropping. Would you say this was a poor or good practice for grocery. If this was a slower mover products, I accept such a high utilisation would be risky. The turnnover of the DC was around 9 to 11 days on average. Thanks.

[@supplychainsecrets]

I think in terms of 'storage capacity' running at close to 100% can really slow down productivity. It's a bit like driving into a shopping Mall car park, that has 10,000 places, and looking for the spaces that are vacant! Obviously in a warehouse we know exactly where those spaces (pallet slots) are. But operating at that capacity also creates congestion all over the warehouse. that slows down productivity. 'Designers' will generally aim at 85-90% space utilisation to allow for room to work. Otherwise it is like being in that shopping mall car park, with cars in lines on every level, waiting for spaces to appear and 'stalking' shoppers walking back to their car !

[@shanecolton3500]

@@supplychainsecrets Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your analogy is brilliant and something I hadn't quite thought about. The mentality in the business was we are only excellent if we continually operate at 98% but I wonder did the warehouse time calculate the 'cost and time' lost through the productivity deficit, I suspect not as it can be hard to quantify. Only discovered the channel and really enjoying it. Wish I discovered this channel before going off to do a supply chain masters, I know which is more useful and beneficial!

This FACT was really helpful. Nice and detailed explaination in a few words. 👍

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@samuelzafico8480]

Can we change capacity to; room, range, or retention? 🧐

[@supplychainsants]

You made the four MAGIC bullet points simple and easy to understand. I am going to hit them in my WH and preserve them in my intuition forever.

I would add Safety. It is strictly linked to productivity. Safe move is much faster and efficient.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Yes, I'd agree. Safety should always be a key priority.

[@sfdiscovery]

How can we assess the flow could you pls explain little bit more in detail. I have a warehouse that receives and dispatch inventory

[@supplychainsecrets]

We might do another video on that.......

Multiple store warehouse. Docks, elevators and ramp solutions. Where to find sample of projects for a midle size operation. 20.000sqm?

[@supplychainsecrets]

What do you mean by sample projects? Sample ‘solutions’? They all vary due to the client need. We have never designed, in over 250 warehouses, any that were much the same. The same concepts might apply, but not the actual designs.

[@issackants8481]

Thanks Sir Mal

[@supplychainsecrets]

[@MrBenzcdi]

That transparent whiteboard just blows my mind. How does that even work???

[@MrBenzcdi]

Oh, the video was flipped horizontally 😁. Great and concise explanation btw. If one can’t explain the topic in a ~5 minute clip, then one shouldn’t make the clip.

[@supplychainsecrets]

LOL. It takes a while to build and setup. We'll do some more. I just need to give the board a good clean and polish as it gets scratched!

[@MrBenzcdi]

@@supplychainsecrets looks awesome. Good education tool 👍

At the Hardware store ! I made it. Most people do.

[@rocket5857]

@@supplychainsecrets How are you able to write in reverse?

[@silvionascimentoribeirojun4017]

Great topics! Let me have a question, should we apply the same methodology in terms of 85% as a top of net occupation even for an seasonal operations? I mean, if after data gathering and analysis, the numbers show me that the 85% capacity will be target only for a few months due to the peak season, can I consider 85% capacity as a baseline or the total installed capacity? I am looking for discover the trade off of having an decreasing productivities rates for a few months versus extra cost of square meters for the rest of the year. Once again great job and keep posting!

[@supplychainsecrets]

For a 'peak' you might be able to operate for a while at a higher capacity. Depends somewhat on the type of racking / storage systems you are using too. An AS/RS system could still operate at a much higher capacity. The 85% is a rule of thumb for standard single deep selective racking.

[@veevee7555]

How did you write .i vertef

[@supplychainsecrets]

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question. Write what?

[@suddude7481]

Is there any new technology for controlling light and temperature? There are warehouses on ships where items are not stored on pallets and shrink wrapped, is there any new technology to prevent corrosion of items stored in bins?

[@supplychainsecrets]

Not sure about that. Sorry.

[@Med-i-tate]

Can you suggest me a company that failed to follow government legislations pertaining to warehousing storage and faced legal consequences?

[@supplychainsecrets]

We rarely get involved in the legal elements of warehousing, other than as Expert witness for things like Insurance claims. But there are certainly prosecutions related to safety issues, dangerous goods and the like.

[@JekeKyle]

great video Mal !

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rokpodlogar6062]

this probably can be a subprinciple of sorts, but planned throughput can have a massive effect on capacity design and floor planning.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Indeed it would!

How to measure how many racks would fit in a 1350 sq.m warehouse?

[@supplychainsecrets]

Not that simple. Depends on pallet dimensions and height of pallet. Clear roof height. Aisle widths. Space required for receipt and despatch. Order assembly, packing, MHE charging etc etc. and then type of racking used. Selective, drive in, double deep....

[@HeartlessBasterd]

@@supplychainsecrets Once we select all those criteria, I usually use an integer programming model that can be formulated as a cutting stock problem to find the optimal racking heights.

@@supplychainsecrets i am one of those guys that do industrial stuff at home.. welding, lathe or milling work.. cutting trees. laying solar panels. aircondition filling. have a car lift, got a forklift. i have a big property. and i was searching for a pallet rack. looking for some videos to get a little more info about the importence.. (foundation, how to get it stable, diy videos) but ofcourse i cannot find anything haha, i stumble upon your videos. ahh the principles finally, but ofcourse your videos is not for people like me. but its for business owners that want to invest in there warehouse lol.
