My warehouse just moved. It’s been a crazy few weeks. Remember there’s always space up! And storage trailers Can’t wait to watch all your vids!

Very true. Go higher and use shipping containers (if you can find any)

Great common sense advice from Rob. Recently visited a Melbourne timber warehouse and was *staggered* by the aisle widths and low racking heights, but then not surprised by all the overspill outside! At least know your options and consider cantilever racking & sideloaders for long loads!

[@supplychainsecrets]

It's not uncommon with long products. Timber, steel etc. A lot depends on pack sizes, weights/dimensions, MHE in use and so on.

[@mannysidhu788]

Hey Rob, top-shelf videos! Thank you. Not sure if you have done a video on probably the most important aspect for people starting out in the 3PL space - how to get customers. That’d be just fantastic. Thank you in advance.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Sure, we’ll try to cover that.

I have a question about logistics and data consumption based on lines per hour. This metric can be very biased in good and bad scenarios. Let's take for example, a warehouse that sells boxes. An order comes for 400 4 x 4 x 4in corrugate boxes. The bundle is let's say 25 per bundle. That is 16 bundles that need to be shipped out. Due to shipping constraints or weight or other factors, this order needs to be divided into 4 boxes/shipping labels. So one order line has 4 labels associated with it. This creates a big disconnect and negative reinforcement of looking at this metric solely and not factoring in quantity of shipped boxes/labels made. The added time to ship these negatively impacts the packer, knowing that metric will be held against them, and it can show a slower production even if working at faster rates. Now the other side of that, let's say we have an order for tag ties in multiple colors. 5 let's say, and 100qty each which is 4 bags. Because the size is small this fits into one box/one label. So 5 lines is filled in one box very quickly. Now skewing the metric logistic system the other way over estimating the production and shipping progress. A metric that takes into account bundle quantity/shipping qty and labels per hour with orders per hour is far more detailed to get accurate logistics to understand warehouse flow and production. Why isn't this the standard?

[@supplychainsecrets]

You raise an interesting point. That’s why we need to be careful what metrics we use as each operation is a bit different. Cartons per hour, eaches per hour, inners per hour, orders per hour, order lines per hour, picks per hour, hits per hour. There are so many. We need to pick the ones most meaningful to our operation.

[@StregAnders]

That was really informative, thanks a lot! After getting out of the armed forces, I'm looking at studying engineering focused on Supply Chain starting next summer, and all of your content is giving me a great head start.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad you're finding it useful. We have the same background....

[@peppypepper]

Hey Rob, You channel & depth of supply chain understanding you provide is absolutely amazing. Just like to understand have you ever worked with Clients in India. As you are aware due to cheap labor Standardization of Warehouse & automation is not like as in US, Europe etc. Can you come up with video on something like Optimization of Warehousing & transportation for India Market. All the best for your channel :)

[@supplychainsecrets]

I'll see what I can do

[@emeldakamanda8932]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zakiya2925]

I have a MSc in supply chain from the University of Roehampton . I find your video very informative. I live in a slow moving Caribbean island and they have no need for or can't afford advance systems or technologies. I crave for an opportunity abroad so I can put what I studied into good use and learn more.

[@supplychainsecrets]

I’m sure with some good networking and lots of applications, you’ll find a rewarding role. But be careful what you wish for! Right now a slow moving Caribbean Island sounds wonderful to me!

Hi Mr. Rob The plant I working on it we storing pallets of packaging bottles such as ( shampoo Clear and sunsilk) , we are not capable to Use racking system due to height constrain and we stored it in bulk area in double stack, my question is what is the Best way to utilize our Warehouse? Thanks in advance,

[@supplychainsecrets]

Difficult to say without seeing a plan or photos of the warehouse. Reach out to me on LinkedIn and send some pics or a plan.

[@rudrangsu]

Thanks it is very informative

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sumitkumargurah7884]

If we reach our Dispatch capacity, then how much stock we should have in our warehouse, like two weeks or three weeks ?like we r manifecturer also,and we have regular material most often. Pls explain sir.

[@supplychainsecrets]

That requires a complex answer sorry. Do you have demand forecasting in place, by SKU? And are your SKUs broken down into groups, like ABC. based on their demand? Then you need to establish what your customer service availability will be. With all that, you can now start to establish your required inventory levels by SKU. It will vary a lot business to business.

[@batukekalimukwa7157]

Can I post a case study and see how you analyze it

[@luannguyen-hb3ug]

Thanks you a lot

[@supplychainsecrets]

Glad you liked it!

[@jerrychandler7094]

Excellent!

[@supplychainsecrets]

Many thanks!

[@dinhquangquynhk17ct14]

When our warehouse was a little bit narrow in width and length, do you think it's a good idea if we enhance much in its height ?

[@supplychainsecrets]

That's a complex question. It depends on many things. Product storage and handling profile, materials handling equipment in use, warehouse construction type, quality of warehouse floor........ It can make sense.........

[@fesehaandualem4472]

I appreciate and interesting.

[@supplychainsecrets]

Thanks

[@bishwakhadka827]

just suggest me the some scenario written questions for supply officer especial warehouse operation

[@supplychainsecrets]

That needs a bot more than a quick answer here! (1) What would you do to try to improve productivity? (2) What 3 KPIs would you measure every day? (3) What is the most important warehouse function?

[@davidgraham3960]

Hi, what is the best 3D warehouse mapping software and it is also not so complicated to use? Thanks.

[@supplychainsecrets]

There are lots out there. WE use one called DC Expert.

[@symm605]

This could help hundreds of thousands Chinese small medium enterprise to improve their warehouse management considerably.

[@supplychainsecrets]

It's a very common problem...

[@trevorgraber9075]

Look!!!! TSPs and tortured trucks kill load time. In a timed load scenario we eat crow... times touched tripples too.. sorry just venting, I’m dealing with high volume high skew situation 😩🥲

[@supplychainsecrets]

Vent away!
