Conventional Storage Models

The document discusses conventional storage models, including block stacking, deep lane storage, and single-deep and double-deep pallet storage racks. It describes the concepts, considerations, advantages, and disadvantages of each model as well as their appropriate application areas. Conventional storage models involve manually operated storage and retrieval of unit loads and are best for low-turnover merchandise with stable structures.

MANUAL STORAGE
MODELS
Introduction

 There are money types of storage model and in order to use the best
type of storage system related to our material handling system and
type of material which we handle and our concern here is conventional
storage model. We will concern alternative of conventional storage
model, advantage and disadvantage of conventional storage model and
practical application area of it application as well as
Concepts of Conventional Storage Models Design
Considerations
 Generally the concept of Conventional Storage Model is analyzed storage
considering our warehouse layout or design,
 the factors of flow,
 accessibility, and space must be balanced to enable the demand of volume passing through
and
 the time parameters to be met
 we consider models of various methods of storing and retrieving products. Here,
we focus on determining “optimum” configurations of storage systems
 particular, we consider storage and retrieval of unit loads by using manually
operated lift trucks
It is the basic Quantitative Facilities Planning Models
 It is traditional or manual storage model
There are four alternative storage methods are
analyzed

1. Block stacking
2. Deep lane storage
3. Pallet storage (Single-deep Pallet storage rack
and Double-deep Pallet storage rack )
1. Block stacking

does not require any type of storage equipment,


 loaded pallets are placed directly on the floor
 built up in stacks to a maximum stable storage height.
 block stacking involves the storage of unit loads in
stacks within storage rows.
It is frequently used when large quantities of a few
products are to be stored and the product is stackable to
some reasonable height without load crushing.
Block stacking

 During the storage and retrieval cycle of a product lot,


vacancies can occur in a storage row.
 To achieve first-in, first-out (FIFO) lot rotation.
 The space losses resulting from unusable storage positions
are referred to as “honeycomb loss”; block stacking suffers
from both vertical and horizontal honeycomb loss.
(the empty space that results by storing only one item in the
storage area. ) . To Avoid propre placement and
consolidation techniques. loss of effective storage capacity
Block stacking

 The design of the block stacking storage system is


characterized by the depth of the storage row (x), the
number of storage rows required for a given product
lot (y), and the height of the stack (z), where the
decision variables, x, y, and z, must be integer valued.
If the height of the stack is fixed, then the key decision
variable is the depth of the storage row.
Block stacking alternative storage methods are
analyzed

 Basic Block Stacking Model


 Continuous Approximation of
Block Stacking
 Multiple Row Depths
 Safety Stock
 Continuous Approximation with
Safety Stock
2. Deep Lane Storage
defined by the material handling industry as rack-supported storage in
which both the placement of a unit load in storage and the retrieval of a unit
load from storage
pallet flow rack involves replenishment at one end of a storage lane and
withdrawal at the other end of a storage lane.
deep lane storage uses
a last-in, first-out (LIFO) and a first-in, first-out (FIFO) retrieval policy
applies.
Deep Lane Storage alternative storage methods
are analyzed
• basic Deep Lane
Storage Model
• Continuous
Approximation for
Deep Lane Storage
• Deep Lane Storage
with Safety Stock
• Continuous
Approximation of
Deep Lane Storage
with Safety Stock
3. Pallet storage (Single-Deep & Double-
deep Pallet Storage Rack)
• Pallet Storage means non cross-dock product that is stored
for any length of time in the pallet rack of the Facility.
• To determine the average floor space requirements
• store materials on pallets in horizontal rows on multiple
levels
• Storing products in single-deep and double-deep pallet racks
Advantage
1. Used to achieve high space utilization
2. Low investment cost
3. Efficient use of floor space with a good aisle/shelving ratio.
4. Increase storage density by around 30-40% with good selectivity.
5. Keep product lines together by storing two pallets deep.
6. Easily reconfigured to adjust shelf levels or convert to selective
racking
Disadvantage
1. LIFO inventory management system may not be appropriate for the
product stored.
2. Reduced accessibility of stock-keeping unit (SKU)
3. Limited storage height on safety grounds.
4. Speed of access, particularly to the rear pallets.
Application area of conventional storage
model
1. prevalent for food, beverages, appliances, and paper
products, among others.
2. Some of them include racks for batteries, furniture, barrels, or
even plastic molds. In the other case, material handling also
includes aspects such as the implementation of measures to
improve the environment in terms of safety and industrial hygiene
3. Can only be used with low-turnover merchandise:
4. The fewer goods inflow and outflow operations, the greater the
stability of the structure.
