CAD
CAD means Computer Aided Design. CAD is the use of computer technology to aid in the design and
particularly the drafting (technical drawing) and engineering drawing) of a part or product. It uses 2 or 3 dimensional images which can be sent via internet or intranet. It can create the volume, weight of components, CG, deflection under estimated load, design parameters. It reduces time required to make a design or modify a product. Laborious mechanical drawing or complicated calculations can be done very easily. Analysts use CAD to store, retrieve and classify data of various parts.
processes functioning under computer control & digital information. It includes functions like production, design and management function. Three main computer aid in CIM are : Computer aid to production function ( automated flow of materials ) Computer aid to the design function ( automated flow of technological information ) Computer aid to the management function ( automated flow of management information ) It increases the customer satisfaction as response time decreases. It enhances throughput & better utilization of space. Eg. Barcoded labels, RFID tags.
different quantities. The cases are splited, pieces are picked & repacked according to requirement of customer. It improves identification, pick up & repacking of materials and reduces monotony of workers. It includes Order picking methods Sorting and routing Order packing methods Classification schemes Choice of optimal fulfillment strategies
Order extent : It represents the numbers of order simultaneously picked by the picker in an assignment. - It involves 2 methods: a. Discrete order picking where a single order is selected at a time. A single worker picks only one order and collects all items to fulfill the customers need. Advantages includes Simple & reliable method Best suited for smaller organisation Minimises confusion, maximises cycle time b. Batch order picking where many order of different material are put together & selected for a pick. The picker picks many items for multiple orders which are to be separated into different cartoons. It is best suited for a big pack distance ie. Make one trip for 10 orders instead of 10 trips for 10 orders.
area of zone, no.s of orders, type of material. The strategy depends on the area of the zone, number of orders, type of material. When orders are passed among various zones where picks are required according to customers requirement it is known as routing. When orders are routed from zone to zone in an order with or without pick it is known as chaining. When multiple zones are covered simultaneously it is known as parallel routing.
- The orders are assembled together in a dedicated area equipped for packing.
Classification schemes
It involves coding of various methods of split picking and packing.
1st letter : D for discrete order picking (or) B for batch order picking
Zc zone picking with Chaining Zp zone picking in Parallel For ex. BsZcA means batch order picking in chaining multiple zones with immediate sorting and assemble.
It depends on order characteristics & category of distribution General order categories are: Wholesale distribution ( large nos of pieces of a few item ) Retail distribution ( large nos of pieces for a large nos. of items ) Direct marketing ( small quantities ) Consumer distribution ( small quantities of different items usually for promotion, consumption or evaluation. )
The choice of strategies depends on minimization of cost & maximization of desirable characteristics. The strategies should be selected on basis of following parameters: Minimise the cost of pick & pack Minimise the shipping cost Reduce the time required for each cycle Increase the fill rate Improve accuracy of the elements in process Traceability and accountability of all transaction

sorting & order verification. - Used for discrete order or batch selection methods.

It consists of 2 types of costs: Capital cost ie. Non recurring like facilities, plant, material handling system, supporting system.

Operating cost ie. Recurring like labour cost, consumable supplies, insurance, utilities, taxes.
Certain types of cost which incidental cost like damages, resolution or errors, return handling, inventory shrinkage.
Online storage for inventory Replenishment aisles Picking aisles Packing work space Material handling space
- Depending upon size, quantities, patterns of use & velocity the on line storage space is divided into pallet racks, case flow rack, bin shelving, carousel.

in a perticular area.
It depends on average duration of storage & frequency of retrieval. Velocity refers to the speed with which materials are moved into the
