 LEAN WAREHOUSE CONFIGURATION
PROCESS
Ware House Management
Warehouse is a complete physical warehouse is defined under a single warehouse number. By
using this warehousenumber we can manage several individual warehouse buildings that
together form a complete warehouse complex.Warehouse number encompasses (include) the
organizational plan and physical aspect of warehouse complex in asingle concept. Warehouse
can be used to kept finished products.
Warehouse can be:
 Goods receipt area
 Goods issue area
 Hall with high rack shells
 Bulk storage area
 Picking area with fixed bins
 Outside storage yard for special goods
Warehouse structure:
A complete physical warehouse is defined under a single warehouse number.
Storage type: Storage type is nothing but a storage area, warehouse facility. Warehouse zone
that we defined for
warehouse number. It is a physical or logical sub – division of a warehouse complex that
characterized by its
warehouse technique, the space used, its organizational form or its function. A storage type
consists of one or
several storage bins.
EX: Bulk storage, open storage, high rack storage, picking area, and shelf storage type.
We have to define important control indicators/parameters for storage type that determines
material flow (put
away/picking activities).
EX: Put away, Picking, Blocking indicators, and Inventory procedure.
Storage section: It is an organizational subdivision of a storage type that groups together storage
bins with similar
features for the purpose of putting away stock. We must create at least one storage section for
each storage type.
Picking area: Picking area is a section within a storage type in which all picking activities are
carried out in the
same way. It groups storage bins together from the view point of picking strategies and is a
counter part to the
storage section which groups bins from the view point of put away strategies.

Storage Bin

Storage bins: A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or straights. These are
called storage bins in
the warehouse management. The storage bin is a smallest available unit of space in a warehouse.
The storage bin
therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods can be stored since the address
of the storage bin
derived from a co – ordinate system.
EX: 01, 02, and 03
 01 for Row
 02 for Stack
 03 for Level
We have to address storage bin with coordinate. We assign each storage bin to specific
warehouse number and
storage type.
We must assign each storage bin to a storage section. We can define maximum weight, total
capacity, fire continent
section, storage bin type, etc.

Quant: It is a stock of any material with same features in one storage bin.
Door: Where the goods arrive at or leave the warehouse. It is an organizational unit that is assign
to the warehouse
number. The doors are located in a close proximity to the respective staging area.
Staging area: It is an organization unit that is assigned hierarchy to the warehouse number. It is
used to organize
the goods flows in the warehouse. It is used as an interim storage of goods in the warehouse. It is
assigned to
doors.
EX: Goods receipts and Goods issues.
NOTE: Warehouse management configured by MM consultants.
Lean warehouse management configured by SD consultants.
Lean warehouse management: In warehouse management system, goods movements and stock
changes takes
place at storage bin level. But with lean warehouse management, inventory management takes
place at storage
location level.
We used to process goods receipts and goods issues. We have to create transfer orders for
deliveries. Transfer
order serves as a picking list.

Pre – Requisites: We can only implement it with fixed storage bin.
 Assign a newly defined storage location to warehouse umber.
 Setup at least two storage types.
1. Picking storage type as the source storage type.
2. In shipping area as a destination storage type for deliveries.
