As a warehouse logistics staff, do you know the area utilization rate and volume utilization rate of the warehouse?

　　 In this article, we share two commonly used keywords in warehouse management-warehouse area utilization and volume utilization.

　　 1. Warehouse area utilization rate

　　 As a warehouse logistics staff, do you know the area utilization rate and volume utilization rate of the warehouse?

　　 1. How to calculate the warehouse utilization rate

　　 First, understand the definition of each area:

　　 Building area: usually refers to the building area of ​​the warehouse. The calculation method is measured from the outer wall foundation of the warehouse. The area of ​​length * width will be added to each floor of the building.

　　 Actual area: Measure from the inner wall of the warehouse. Subtract the occupied area of ​​the obstacle building (columns, partitions and stairs) from the length * width area.

　　 usable area: that is, the actual area minus the area occupied by the main road, branch road, wall distance, and column distance.

　　 usable area: the area actually occupied by the goods stacked.

　　 Currently, the leased area of ​​warehousing enterprises is generally calculated based on the building area. When subcontracting to a customer for storage, the actual warehousing area is the usable area, and the area utilization rate of the three-dimensional warehouse = usable area/construction area.

　　 2. How to improve the utilization of warehouse area

　　 1. Reasonably plan the warehouse area: reduce unnecessary functional areas, rationally design and use columns and irregular areas;

　　 2. Reasonably design goods placement rules. People who often code goods know that if the pallets are stacked well, more goods may be loaded, and the loading of the goods will affect the design of the channel width;

　　 3. Set standards for different industries. For example, the utilization rate of the home appliance industry must be higher than that of a department store. At the same time, reservoir planning for different industries should be different; at the same time, with standards, we can more quantify our indicators, which will help improve utilization;

　　 4. Optimize the reservoir area through product sales forecast and product ABC classification . Some products can use the stacking method to provide area utilization;

　　 5. Strengthen the on-site management of the warehouse. The same planning and management carried out by different people will definitely have different impacts on the use of the site.

　　二,. Warehouse capacity utilization rate

　　Warehouse capacity utilization rate=(actual inventory quantity or volume/warehouse storage quantity or volume)×100%

　　 Ways to improve warehouse capacity utilization rate:

　　1. Post planning element analysis

　　 main Including area layout, material level setting, material stacking method, material representation planning, etc.

　　2. Use of three-dimensional space

　　The three-dimensional warehouse can maximize the use of the vertical space of the warehouse, so that the storage capacity per unit area is much larger than that of ordinary orders. Layer warehouse.

　　 3. The use of standard packaging

　　 Each storage box has a fixed size, it is best to use standard packaging containers. Standard packaging facilitates the identification, maintenance, inspection and transportation of goods. The stored materials are marked on each container. Combine barcode technology to manage inventory materials and inventory to realize system automation.
