Question
Consider a warehouse with a forward case-pick area. Some overstock is held in higher levels of nearby pallet rack and some is held in an outlying warehouse and restocked from there: Assume the forward pick area has been stocked and may not be changed: For which skus should the overstock be held nearby (rather than in the outlying warehouse?)
a. Those skus forecast to be the most frequently requested
b. Those skus forecast to sell in the greatest physical volume
c. Those skus forecast to sell the most cases from the forward case-pick area
d. Those skus forecast to sell the most pallets from the forward case-pick area
e. Those skus forecast to sell the most pallets as full-pallet picks
f. Those skus forecast to sell the most total pallets (from either case-pick or full-pallet pick)
Explanation / Answer
a. Those skus forecast to be the most frequently requested
For skus which are more frequently requested the overstock needs to be helpd nearby so that the transport of such cases are faster than expected and this will also keep the forward pick area unchanged as it is already stocked.
