Warehousing Assignment
In the previous lecture you have seen a traditional warehouse layout. But if you have actually seen a
real-life warehouse, chances are that it looked nothing like what I showed you. The layout of
warehouses have specific purposes and different designs can achieve the same purpose.
In this assignment, I will ask you to take the traditional design I showed you and change it - for the
better. You have to maintain all the areas that I included, but are free to move them around as you
wish.
Review criteria
Assignment Topic:
You will have to submit your own improved warehouse design starting with the example I showed
you in the lecture.
Before you begin, you will need to decide how you create the plans. My suggestion is to use a
graphical program such as Google slides (free), PowerPoint, Keynote, or Visio (if you are really
serious). Or you can simply draw it on a sheet of paper and take a picture of it.
How to submit:
You will be required to submit your assignment using an image file (jpg or png format). Make sure to
include all the parts of the warehouse I included in my example:
1. dock doors
2. case lot/ fast mover section
3. bulk storage/ slow mover section
4. flow rack/ broken cases section
5. conveyor belt
6. sorter
7. packaging station
8. staging area
9. at least two miscellaneous areas (such as equipment storage and maintenance, and/or
assembly, etc.)
There is no need to include additional technology or features.
