FLOOR BASED BLOCK STACKING (stack‑height limits, honeycombing, lane‑depth optimization). Pallet‑stacking frames. • Static rack systems – single‑deep, double‑deep, drive‑in.• Dynamic rack systems – push‑back, pallet‑flow, pallet‑shuttle. • Mobile rack systems – mechanical and AS/RS mobile racks.
Conventional trucks (walkie stackers, counter‑balance lift trucks), narrow‑aisle trucks (straddle, straddle‑reach), very‑narrow‑aisle trucks (turret trucks), and automated storage & retrieval systems (AS/RS).
A continuous 6‑step loop: 1️⃣ How to Populate the slotting database. 2️⃣ How to Generate SKU‑activity and order‑profile insights. 3️⃣ How to Build the slot‑location database. 4️⃣ How to Rank slot locations by productivity. 5️⃣ How to Run the slotting optimizer. 6️⃣ How to Define re‑slotting criteria and repeat.
(1) Adopters of the course principles and methodology have experienced 18 %–37 % reduction in pallet storage & picking costs via (a) 8% to 39% higher storage density and cube utilization, and (b) 14% to 31% higher pallet picking productivity. (2) 16% to 31% Capex Avoidance. (3) Clear understanding of how to create a financial case for or against automation (occupancy, labor, equipment cost breakdown) (4) Comprehenive understanding of the workings and tradeoffs of a wide variety of pallet storage and picking systems.
