  1. ICBS-R Project Warehouse Zones and Locations Overview Mar 11 2008

  2. Key Principles • The National Cache Manager’s have adopted a standard zones and locations scheme to: • Take maximum advantage of ICBS-R functionality • Reduce the time to bring each cache on board the new system • Shorten the orientation time for cache workers assigned to other caches

  3. Terminology • A zoneclassifies a set of locations with common properties • Zonescan have both tasks and locations ascribed to them • A location is the physical location where inventory is stored

  4. Zone abbreviations • Standard zone abbreviations have been developed for the new ICBS • Users will see these in various screens in the application • Zone abbreviations are also incorporated in location numbering (e.g. STOR1 – 01010201) and will appear on bar coded location labels

  12. Locations • A location is always associated with zone within the cache • It has attributes like aisle number, bay number, level number and bin number • The number of items in a storage location is based on the actual capacity of the location

  13. Location Capacity Size • Storage location capacity is based on the size of the bin and the item stored at each particular bin, i.e. how many of a particular NFES item fits into it’s dedicated storage/bin location • Location capacity is determined at each cache, to match the existing location and storage configuration

  14. Storage location numbering • Location numbers (in storage and forward pick zones) designate the Aisle, Bay, Level and Bin or the mnemonic ABLB • Example: 09030209 - Aisle 09 • Bay 03 • Level 02 - Bin 09

  15. Bulk zones • Bulk zones won’t necessarily have bay, level, and bin associated with them. Bulk zones with many pallets should be given row numbers. • Example: B1-01, B1-02, B1-03

  16. Other locations • For other locations, the location numbering scheme is defined based on the particular needs of the zone • For example: • SHIP-SORT1, SHIP-SORT2 • RETURN1

  17. Next step • The “Locations Numbering Aid” provides: • Instructions for numbering aisles, bays, levels and bins • Strategies to maximize the underlying picking algorithms in the application • Sample cache layouts
