Warehouse Operations and Inventory Management Thomas Tanel
Companies that make the best use of the basic principles of planning and managing warehouse operations and inventory management have a competitive advantage. Organizations that lack warehouse strategic planning and inventory operational excellence lose profits, market share, cost advantages, and market leadership.
Traditional Supply Chain and Logistics channels are indeed changing. As organizations move from mass production and mass distribution to mass customization, creative approaches are needed in the management of warehousing and inventory. The challenge is always present, because different customers may demand different levels of service. Demand often cannot be forecasted, especially if one must deliver customized products or services exactly where the customer needs them.
Businesses today must understand that they are competing on the basis of time more than on any other factor. The rigors of supply chain management require that you take action to meet your customers’ demand for faster, more frequent, and more reliable deliveries. Your suppliers need to meet increasingly precise inbound schedules. Tomorrow’s customers are more likely to be in another country or continent than they are likely to be from across town, in another state, or in another province.
With a proven inventory management system and an A-B-C Analysis, you can transform your inventory into a proactive force that lowers your inventory investment, reduces carrying costs, boosts confidence in physical supply and distribution service levels, and increases customer and user satisfaction. From a storage and distribution perspective, you, as overseer of the supply management process, should also know how the warehousing layout design criteria and the space and storage schemes affect your material flow, service levels, computerization, and technology options.

success.
The parts warehouse control is among other things vitally important to the parts control, requiring
efficient use of available space and effective operation of actual parts distribution within the warehouse.
Taking these things into consideration and on the basis of BAW long practical experiences, we have
prepared here a manual titled 'Warehouse Operations Manual for Dealerships' for the benefit of those
who are starting in the spare parts business, or plan to modify or expand an existing spare parts
warehouse.
Mother Warehouse - Location where material from BAW is received.
- Material is stored at Mother location for own consumption
and for Stock Transfer to other location workshops (Child
Warehouses)
- Sale value for mother include own consumption & stock
transfertochild.
- For Single workshop dealership sale value is own workshop
consumption.
Child Warehouse - Location where material is received from Mother
Warehouse.
- Only Fast Moving items are kept at this location
- Any part which has not been sold in the past 6 months
need to be shifted to Mother location
- Minimum frequency of receipt of material from Mother
Warehouse
Once in a day for Child Warehouse in same city
Days in a week for outstation Child Warehouse
E-outlet - Extension outlet
- Maximum Number of Bays, 3

accordingly.
10. There is a transition period between picking and delivery to workshop/ child warehouse.
Pre-pulling parts bin (Job card/Requisition No Bin) helps to supply the parts on time to
customers coming to dealer workshop.
When parts staff prepare parts in time for repair, it is better to store these parts temporarily in
an exclusive bin for each job card /Requisition No, so that anybody can find the necessary parts
for the corresponding repair vehicle.
The location where parts are kept in their transition period is called ‘Pre-Pulled Area’
A Pre-Pulled Rack is kept at this location (Sketch in Annexure A)

13. Empty carton boxes and flexible Partitions needs to be kept safe for future usage.
There are demarcated for this is called ‘flexible Partition & carton storage area’
Space required for this area is
25 sq.ft for Mother Warehouse
15 sq.ft. for child Warehouse
5 sq. ft. E- outlet
The shape and orientation of the warehouse is of equal importance as of space requirement. The shape
and orientation of the warehouse plays a pivotal roles in the seamless functioning of the warehouse and
hence the productivity. The factors critical in the shape and orientation are as follows;
Profile of the site should be in Rectangular / square with minimal pillars.
Easy entry of Truck till the unloading point.
Warehouse in a single level is desirable as multiple levels will create bottlenecks in the
flow.
If workshop is on multiple levels then body parts store should be on body shop level.
At least one floor should have a minimum space of 1000 sq. ft.
2.9 SHAPE & ORIENTATION
2.8 FLEXIBLE / SEMI FLEXIBLE PARTITION & CARTON STORAGEAREA
14. Layout is the process of installation of warehouse infrastructure and finalizing the work flow
There are five types of Layout possible .They are
U’ Shape
L’ Shape
Straight – Through flow
Modular Spine Design
Multi Stored Layout
Each of the above has their own merits & demerits; the same is detailed below

15. Straight – Through Flow
Suitable when there is no physical constraints in Site in terms of Space & Orientation
Modular Spine Design
Suitable for large scale operation in which individual process are so large that they merit stand-alone &
uniquely designed buildings. Example - Production
Multi stored Desi
Necessary when land is extremely scarce.
This is the least desirable of all flow alternatives.
In this layout we need to find warehouse in bottlenecks & not the other way round.

PLASTIC CONTAINERS FOR PARTS HANDLING
Plastic containers are required for handling of parts both at the time of binning and picking as plastic
containers are light in weight and do not have sharp edges which may harm the picker/binner and damage
the parts. These containers are stackable and hence do not occupy much space (Nilkamal containers of
Blue colour).
LOADING / UNLOADING FACILITIES
Safe loading and unloading facilities to be provided for the material received/dispatched. Wooden / Steel/
Stretch wrapped boxes should not be rolled or dropped. Corrugated cartons and loose parts should be
manually handled from the truck directly on to/from the trolley.
BOX OPENING TOOLS
Tool Application
Claw Head Hammer (2Kg) For opening wooden boxes
Lever with de-nailer (500mm) For opening wooden boxes
Strap cutting plier For cutting hoop iron strap
Cutting knife For cutting plastic film of Stretch wrapped Boxe
PACKING ITEMS (For Mother Warehouse)
The equipment required includes plastic strapping machine, hand metal strapping machine, packing table,
and packing material – Straps, Wood, polythene bags etc. and shelves/racks for temporary storage.
26. A leadership having multiple workshops have the option of having a Hub & Spoke arrangement.
In a Hub & Spoke arrangement the Hub is called Mother Warehouse and spoke is called child
warehouse.
In such an arrangement it is critical to have a robust logistic network.
In this type of dealerships Mother Warehouse works as the supplier for the Child Warehouses.
The child warehouse will stock only the minimum required part numbers in minimum required
quantities. All bulk stock is kept for the child warehouse is kept at the Mother warehouse
Location.
This will ensure;
Lower space required for storage
Less stock
Mother warehouse will supply items to the child warehouse in the following frequency
Minimum once in a day for child warehouse in same city.
Minimum of 3 times a week for Child warehouse in outside city.
To ensure this supply a Permanent Journey Plan (PJP) need to be made.
Adequate number of Mahindra Genuine Parts branded delivery vans based on the route and sale
volume need to be employed.
Adequate illumination is lighting is required for smooth operation of warehouse activities.

4.5 Logistics
4.0 WAREHOUSEPROCESS
35. Types of Orders
The various types of orders are;
a) RegularOrder
Regular order is placed for stock replenishment. The regular order is to be placed on the ordering
days specified by BAW and the same will be dispatched as per schedule communicated.
b) VOR Order
Such orders are to be placed only when a vehicle is off the road i.e. parts without which the vehicle
cannot be functional & be back On-Road. One VOR order for one vehicle. These are required
urgently to provide service to the customer.
c) KeyOrder
Key order is used to get duplicate Keys for the customer.

A branch/child location should give order to the mother location on a daily basis.
Orders to be transmitted to Mother Warehouse in 1900hrs.
4.1 ORDERING
SOQ = [SS for LT + SS for OC + (OC +LT) x DBAR] – OHQ – OOQ + CBO
36. MatchtheTakeopen
Parts dispatched from BAW will arrive at the dealer location as per the lead time defined.
Regular’s orders are dispatched through road transport and VOR orders through Air / Road
mode.
Dealers should carry out the following checking before receiving the consignment.
Receipt area should be specified.
It should also have the Pre-binning rack. Binning trolleys to be kept ready at the location before
receiving the consignment from BAW.
Check Points
Check whether the consignment is actually for the dealer.
Match the consignment with the ship list summary from extranet.
Check for external damage, if any. In case of external damage, shortage /excess mention the
same on the POD and get the delivery person signature.

5.2 StrongRoom
5.3 FIFO
5.4 PerpetualInventory
5.5 PhysicalInventory
5.6 Types of Layout
5.7 WarehouseLayout
5.8 Layout Guidelines
There are two methods of storage
a) Fixed Location
b) Dynamic Location
In fixed location each item location is fixed.
If the item for which a location is attached is not available that space will stay un-utilized.
Retrieval of item is easy as there is less system dependency.
This is suited for individual part picking.
In Dynamic Location method location are fixed
SKU are allocated by system based on the location freeness.
Best utilization of space.
But order picking is not possible without system support.
Suitable for large Operations.
In our case we are suggesting a Hybrid method.
For MC1, 2, 3,&4 Items fixed location method.
For MC 5 items dynamic location method (for items in this location has to be done as
per policy).
In an Optimum warehouse layout we need to ensure
Minimal movement of Man & Material
Easy retrieval of parts
Proper preservation & minimal damage.
Parts have to be segregated based on the Movement Code and FMSN.
Movement Code is the number of months the part got transacted in the given period
Movement Code If 12 month Data is Available If only 6 month Data is Available
MC1 12 6
MC2 9 - 11 5

39. FMSN Analysis
FMSN analysis is done on the basis of sales volume (Quantity) of each part.
FMSN analysis process.
Take out the entire consumption report.
Append gross sales quantity (numbers) of each root part number over the period of one year.
Make a list of parts that ranks the parts in descending order of their sales quantity.
All the parts should be included in this list irrespective of their sales quantity
Category Classification
F Parts that contribute to top 75% of quantity sold

At eye level in the racks, to be kept near counter
In top and bottom rows
Racks at the rear end of Warehouse
To be done as per BAW Parts Policy
- Topof the Rack is demarcated as Over flow Location (Green Flag with magnet)
- Over flow items need to be kept on the top of the rack against that bin. The Green Flag should
be affixed on the bin whose part is kept on the top
41. High value parts like, Bearings, ECU etc...
These items need to be kept secure by creating a strong room with lock & key.
The operational access of this location will only with the spare parts manager.
FIFO = First In First Out
This will ensure that older parts gets used first, thus ensuring less chances / quality deterioration
over time.
The storage and picking in warehouse to follow FIFO.
The process of ensuring FIFO is given below
Store items from left to right in a bin.
Picking to be done from the right.
Replenishing to be done from the left by shifting the stock to right.
Always fresh parts to be kept on the left of the bin only.
Initial Stocking Picked from Right
Old Stock Shifted to Right
New Stock Added to Left
5.2 STRONG ROOM (OPTIONAL)
5.3 FIFO
42. Perpetual inventory helps in ensuring Physical Stock and System Stock is matched.
Perpetual inventory to be done on the Fast, Medium and Slow moving items.
The number of times a particular part will be counted is based on the Movement Category.
Perpetual inventory process is detailed below
Frequency of Perpetual Inventory =Daily
Do FMSN analysis based on last 1 year movement
Find number of items to be counted.
Example
- F Category 500 Nos
- M Category 1000 Nos
- S Category 1500 Nos
- N Category 2000 Nos
- Total Number of items = 3xF + 2xM + 1xS + 0xN
- = 1500 + 2000 + 1500
- = 5000
Number of Days, = 300 days per
year Number of Items to be counted per day
= Total Items / Number of Days
= 5000/300
= 17 Parts
This 17 parts to be divided in the same ratio
of 3F:2M:1S
Append the counting day for all the parts
Take the list of items with opening stock of
the day.
Do physical counting of parts before start of
operations or after close of operations.
Find the items where there is discrepancy.
Do a root cause analysis for the same using
fish Bone diagram.
Eliminate the root cause.
Take management approval and update in the
system.

System Stock
44. This is the process of counting all items in the stock and matching with the system stock.
In this all the part numbers irrespective of the movement is counted.
The manpower required for doing the physical stock taking need to be identified.
The process is given below.
Make team of two members each.
Decide the number of teams based on the following
- Total number of parts to be counted
- Average Time taken to counted one part Number.
- No. of Parts counted / hr
- Decide number of teams counting during working hours / after working hours.
- Ideally the counting should be over in 2 days
The stock taking process is detailed below
Make adequate teams, a team is of two persons
Area of the warehouse is divided AISLE wise and is allotted to each team
Area wise location wise list of parts is taken out & is given to respective teams
All boxes should be emptied and counted
Boxes that have the original sealing in place need not be opened and the quantity displayed on
the box should be accepted.
Parts that need to be relocated due to space constraints / damaged should be moved to the
desired location and the new location recorded in the data sheet.
One person should do the counting and the other should record the numbers counted.
The person counting removes all the quantity of that part from the self and places them on the
floor
While counting care should be taken to identify, segregate and record parts that are damaged or
have been used
- Put back in the location
The person counting should identify a part, call out the part number, and this will be written
down by this team mate.
General dusting of the shelf is done before placing the parts back on the shelf
All completed data sheet should be signed by both the team members and handed over to the
supervisor.
The same to be punched in the system to take the variance report
Reconciliation of the variance report to be done
Some of the points need to be considered for reconciliation
Parts may be on display in the customer lounger / showroom
Branch transfer is not updated into the system
Part is kept in more than one location
While issuing the part there may be a double entry in the system
While receiving the part there may be a double entry in the system
Check claims received and if properly updated in system and stock
Check quarantine items if physically removed from the stock
After reconciliation root cause analysis using fish bone diagram need to be done and root cause
need to be eliminated.
Take management approval and update in the system.
5.5 PHYSICAL INVENTORY
45. In this section we discuss about the various control procedures in the dealer warehouse
The various warehouse control parameters are
6.1 WarehouseImprovements&maintenance
6.2 Quality Assurance
6.3 EmployeeSatisfaction Index (ESI)
6.4 Safety & Health in Operations
6.4.1 Climate Control inWarehouse
6.4.2 Dust Control
KAIZENS , Continuous Improvements
There is no such thing as a perfect process or system
Every system and process need to undergo continuous improvement
Special Kaizen cell need to be formed and KAIZENs need to be done and
documented
5s need to be maintained in the warehouse
No parts to be kept on the floor
If some item need to be kept on the floor for Temporary storage purpose, a board should
be kept at that location detailing the item, reason and person responsible.
MIS for management
In order we ensure spare parts operations are streamlined a dealership need to track the
operations on a periodical basis.
Dealer should update and monitor the following reports
- Daily Frequency
