Questions
Facilitator's Question: What are the rationales for the practice of unit load, be it carton or pallet load, in warehousing operations? Explain.
The group's answer:
Rationales for the practice of unit load in warehousing operations include:
-Save cost in both shipping and storage cost (Moving greater quantity of goods per journey, thus reducing number of journeys required and hence, saves handling time and cost)
-Saving storage space and cost (leading to increased cubic storage utilisation and floor-space savings)
-Able to move products efficiently
-Protect the products from damage and theft (able to protect goods from being visible to viewers as there's outer packaging such as plastics, containers to protect products)
-Higher throughputs
-Enable the use of standard and storage equipment and packaging (using standard equipment enables efficient time saving and help save space as packages are not in odd shapes. Standardise packaging facilitates handling and storage purposes as it helps to minimise the number of different machines needed which help saves cost in handling purposes. )
-Allows shorter time in loading and unloading
