It includes identifying space, safety and security requirements; developing a documentation system; designing storage zones; and evaluating facility utilisation. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Identify space requirements
- 1.1 The medium-term and long-term storage needs of the organisation are assessed to facilitate planning in accordance with the business plan of the enterprise and legislative requirements
- 1.2 Product type, picking frequencies, value, fragility, weight, handling characteristics, quantity and holding periods are assessed to consider type and amount of storage
- 1.3 Facility is assessed to determine the stock holding and handling requirements for each inventory item
- 1.4 Volume requirements are calculated to ensure that ongoing stock holding needs are met
- 1.5 The total space requirement is calculated and used to formulate plan for space utilisation
2Identify safety and security requirements
- 2.1 An assessment is made of risks to ensure maximum safety and security for personnel, stock and facilities
- 2.2 Storage handling security and incident/emergency procedures for each class or type of product are identified and documented
- 2.3 Fire prevention and firefighting systems are identified in accordance with building code regulations and storage material requirements
- 2.4 An evacuation plan is developed in accordance with the safety program of the enterprise
3Develop documentation system
- 3.1 A system for recording and tracing stock location, receival, throughput and despatch is developed and implemented to enable reporting, quality assurance and financial requirements to be met
- 3.2 A system for recording communication with carriers, customers and employees is developed and implemented to assess operational effectiveness and to provide data for system improvement
4Design storage zones
- 4.1 Space requirements and equipment operation are accurately assessed to facilitate the planning of warehouse zones
- 4.2 An assessment is made of the facility to enable the most effective use of available space
- 4.3 Positioning of storage areas, bays, work stations and the like is undertaken in accordance with data obtained from the planning process
- 4.4 Provision for maintenance and cleaning is catered for
5Evaluate facility utilisation
- 5.1 A continual system of review is used involving regular checks to ensure storage areas and systems are functioning at optimum levels
- 5.2 Receiving and despatch systems provide efficient operations
- 5.3 Storage and handling systems provide ease of access and comply with ergonomic principles
- 5.4 Product handling and storage minimises product damage, contamination and stock losses
- 5.5 Facility layout remains sufficiently flexible to meet changing storage and handling requirements
- 5.6 Appropriate reporting systems are established and used to maintain data for the design of improved facilities and systems
