The document discusses solutions for improving storage in a warehouse that currently uses pallet racking. It proposes converting to a multi-tier shelving system to better accommodate storing and picking individual boxes rather than full pallets. This would increase storage capacity, improve order picker efficiency by making items more accessible, and minimize footprint by eliminating need for heavy machinery to retrieve pallets. The proposed system involves installing new customized 3-tier shelves at the existing pallet rack locations to optimize space utilization and inventory management.

Racking System

4.  Currently the problem that the warehousing operation is facing is during storing
where the material is first palletized and then kept on the Pallet Racks
Current Warehouse Scenario

5.  While the loading is easy but in the unloading scenario the whole pallet needs to
accessed using MHE to dispatch few numbers box
Current Warehouse Scenario

6. Problem with the Current Material Flow
While HD pallet racking are successful in pallet in pallet
out scenario, it’s never advisable to use it in a pallet in box
out one. The major operations implications would be
• Inconvenience for the order pickers to access the
lower most box in the pallet
• To much movement of MHEs in Warehouse
• Losing space by providing a 2.5 to 3 m aisle space for
MHE movement
• More number of Order pickers required
• Losing on the selectivity
