In warehouse management, there are some general principles for goods storage, which can help us manage the warehouse more easily and avoid confusion in the warehouse, crowded passages and disordered goods placement

Let's have a look at the principle of cargo storage!

1、 Channel oriented principle

In order to make it convenient for the articles to enter and exit the warehouse and move easily in the warehouse, the basic condition is to keep the articles facing the channel.

2、 First in first out principle

The goods received earlier are displayed in front of the goods received later to ensure that the goods with the production date earlier are sold first. It refers to the method of calculating the issue inventory cost based on the receipt first issue principle and the unit price of the receipt first inventory for the issued inventory.

3、 Principle of cargo fixation

The goods shall be kept in the same place with the same variety as far as possible. The same article or similar articles should be kept in the same place, which can improve the operation efficiency and storage efficiency, and also enable employees to become more familiar with the location of articles in the warehouse, reducing the time for warehousing and outbound. At the same time, placing similar articles in adjacent places is also an important way to improve efficiency.

4、 Principle of upper light and lower heavy

Arrange the storage position according to the weight of the articles. When arranging the place, of course, the heavy things should be placed at the bottom, and the light things should be placed at the top of the shelf. The height of waist is the base for large objects that need to be carried manually. This is an important principle for improving efficiency and ensuring safety.

5、 Principle of easy access and easy release

Select the location according to the delivery frequency. Articles with high frequency of delivery and purchase shall be placed near the entrance and exit, where it is easy to operate; Articles with poor mobility shall be placed at a distance from the entrance; Seasonal goods are placed in places selected according to their seasonal characteristics.

6、 Special handling principle

Some goods are different from other goods in shape and take up space together. Therefore, the storage method should be arranged according to the shape. It is also important to keep according to the shape of the goods. For example, standardized goods should be kept on pallets or shelves.

7、 The principle of keeping as is

The storage of goods shall be responsible for the goods, so the goods shall be kept as they are before entering the warehouse to the greatest extent to reduce damage.
