The era of large orders
Up until recently, some common warehouse design criteria were…
Design layout principals (Storage, Storage Storage) Process flow (Receiving, Picking, Packing, Loading, Shipping) Maximize height, reduce aisle width, minimize non storage footprint Pallet Racking types (Selective/Drive In/Mobile) A relatively small shelving area allocated for piece picking Warehouse Horse Power was described by CBM capacity or Pallet Position count

The era of small orders
New changes in consumer behavior, convergence of Omni channel and the rise in E-commerce traffic has led to
Demand for larger Receiving Areas, Return Inspection & re conditioning and VAS
- n the Inbound side
Larger piece picking area. Each/SU picking is on the rise Order Consolidation area is gaining corporate attention and becoming the heart
- f the warehouse
Packing area is taking the shape of an assembly line Pallet racking is loosing grounds to all sorts of shelving, sorting and VAS newly created areas. Warehouses are refit to reduce fulfillment cost and to rely less on labor. New WH designs are now based on agility and scalability

Walking is one of the major inefficiencies in warehouses
Major part of a warehouse cost is labor. What are most laborers doing in a warehouse?
WALKING
Reducing the walk and will
- Reduce the cost of preparing orders
- Increase efficiency in warehouse
- Shorten order processing time

How to cope with the challenges
- Reduce Walking Time
- Batch pick orders using smart carts (voice and/or light technology) and sort
SKU directly into totes or cartons
- (Pick and Pack)

Why fulfilling E commerce orders is too challenging
Increase in the volume of small orders High number of SKU’s Returns are on the rise Customizing orders (Happy BD , Gift wrapping) Special handling (Fragile, Temp. Ctrl., Intl. Shipping) Delivery time is under pressure Order packing to different brands or multi size cartons Inability to predict growth

How the packing area is affected by E commerce
- Packing Area is taking the shape of an assembly line
- Multiple processes in one area
– Apply order personalization requests (previous slide) – Pack into final outbound container (Bag, Box, Tote) – Bagging machine , Carton forming machine or both – Insert invoice or use In-Line print insertor – Box/Carton sealing machine – Manual or In line weighting and dimensioning stations – Manual or In-line shipping label applicator
