Warehouse Location Numbering System
As the name tells you, this is a series of numbers that denote the various locations within a warehouse
To find a product within a big warehouse, first thing to do is to identify the “Zone� where the product is being placed
Once the zone is identified, the next is to identify the right “Aisle”
The next is to identify the right “rack” among many racks in one Aisle
Next is to identify the “level� in a rack
Then, the position of the inventory
Now, you have the right product ready in your hands
To enable an easy identification of inventories, keep your warehouses well designed with optimum racks and identification numbers
Simplicity & No duplication are important The numbering should never make complications to the entire warehouse processing. Unique identification number is a must in order to avoid wrong picking. Even if a human feels it complicated, the system may feel it comfortable. Be simple when you number your warehouse locations.
