成功的仓库管理策略的一个首要目标就是追求效率。一个可以显着提高效率的方法就是拥有一个有效的储位优化系统。
无论您是要构建新的配送中心，还是只是寻求方法来更好地优化当前的设施，寻求一个储位优化标志标识始终都是最佳的时机。
Successful warehouse management strategies are all crafted with one overarching goal for an operation – efficiency. One area that can dramatically boost efficiency is a system for effective inventory location slotting.
Whether you’re constructing a new distribution center or simply seeking ways to better organize your current facility, it’s always a good time to look at ways to optimize your location identification logic.
1.有条理Be Organized
大多数仓库位置ID（储位编码）由四到六个字段组成，这些字段反映了设施的布局和组织。该编码方法是一种简略语言，可以帮助工人快速了解要在哪里存储或拣选产品。而且该逻辑也内置在仓库的库存管理软件中。
让我们看一下最常见的编码组成（nomenclature fields）。
Most warehouse location IDs consist of four to six fields that reflect the layout and organization of a facility. This nomenclature is a kind of shorthand language to help workers quickly know where products are to be stored or picked. And that logic is also built into the warehouse’s inventory management software.
Let’s look at the most common nomenclature fields.
仓库区域Warehouse Zone
区域标记用于标识仓库内的一个区域位置。例如，区域可能用于散装存储，箱子存储，干货，冷冻库库存，接收，暂存等。
Zone markers are used to identify a set of locations within a warehouse. For example, zones might be used for bulk storage, case storage, dry goods, freezer inventory, receiving, staging, etc.
过道Aisles
仓库过道标识的一个方法号为从通道“10”或“BA”开始顺序编码，它允许有灵活性。建议不要将第一个通道分配为“ 01”或“ AA”。
还建议您在通道排序中留出策略性空白，以适应未来的变化。
One way to number warehouse aisle signs for growth is to start with aisle “10” or “BA,” which allows for flexibility. Do not assign the first aisle as “01” or “AA.”
It’s also recommended to leave strategic gaps in your aisle sequencing to accommodate change down the road.
货架位Rack Bays
Bay编号与通道编号相同。不要从月台侧旁边的货架“ 01”开始。在月台侧附近的第一个货架上贴上“ 10”或“ 11”标签，并保留一定的扩展性。
Bay numbering is the same as aisle numbering. Do not start with bay “01” next to the dock. Label the first bay near the dock “10” or “11” and allow for flexibility.
即使从所有通道之间的间隔计数未达到该编码的最大值，也可以将每个通道的编号从00更改为100，顺序将后续的改为200。在货架编号方案中增加了“部分字节”，使拣货员，补货员，库存控制人员和所有接触仓库中的产品的人员受益。（It may be beneficial to change the bay numbers at every cross aisle from the 00’s section to the 100’s section to the 200’s section, even if the bay counts between cross aisles do not reach that high. This added “section” to your bay numbering scheme benefits pickers, replenishers, inventory control and everyone touching product in the warehouse.）
层数或隔板Level or Shelves
仓库货架层数编码方案由字符标识。在大多数情况下，最低层将设为“ A级”。通常将快速移动的项目存储在较低的层中，以便于员工识别访问。
后续层数通常标记为B / C / D / E / F。对于临时工或季节性雇员，您可能会发现保持一致的水平（如在眼睛水平或“黄金区域”内的水平）与在“ A级”水平下保持一致是很有用的。
Warehouse level schemes are identified by characters. In most scenarios the floor level is going to be ‘Level A.’ It’s common to store fast-moving items at lower levels where they are more easily accessed.
The next levels are often labeled B/C/D/E/F. For purposes of temporary or seasonal labor, you may find it useful to have consistent levels, such as those at eye level or in the “golden zone” to be just as consistent as the floor “Level A.”
位置或slot Position or slot
隔板或货架托盘上的位置通常不超过9个位置。无论如何，使用两位数字进行位置编号是一种首选方法（01、02、03…）。添加到最终位置标识符中的零有助于视觉上的间隔和位置之间的中断，但也允许多达99个位置，因此具有灵活性。（Positions on a shelf or rack often do not exceed nine positions. Regardless, position numbering with two digits is a preferred method (01, 02, 03…). The zero added into the final location identifier helps with the visual break between the bay and the position, but also allows for up to 99 positions and, thus, flexibility.）
2.保持一致 Be Consistent
为仓库通道编号时，沿通道向前移动，偶数编码放在左侧，奇数编码放在右侧。确保通道之间的低位和高位编号一致，低位始终在一端，高位在另一端。（When numbering warehouse aisle signs, travel down the aisle by addressing even bay numbers on the left side and odd numbers on the right. Be sure that low and high bay numbers are consistent between aisles with the low numbers always on one end and high numbers on the opposite end.）
最好的做法是用货架标牌标识每个产品位置，因为此存储编码是对订单选择者的最终指示。
t is a best practice to identify every product location with shelf signs, as this storage position is the final instruction to your order picker.
Promoting faster warehouse product retrieval gets the product to be one step closer to your customer.
加快的仓库产品寻址可使产品更快的到达消费者。
3.协同合作Be Collaborative
如果工作人员无法轻松理解您的编号和储位优化方案，那么好的计划就不会奏效。在整个计划和实施过程中，请团队成员提供意见，以了解对他们最有帮助的方面。建立适合所有人的位置编号计划后，请务必对您的员工进行全面培训以取得最佳效果。A great plan won’t be effective if workers can’t easily understand your numbering and slotting scheme. Throughout the planning and implementation process, ask your team members for input to learn what would be most helpful to them. Once you have established a location numbering plan that works for everyone, be sure to train your staff thoroughly for best results.
4.装备Be Equipped
标牌和标签讲述了如何导航仓库的故事，并且它们与员工进行信息交流。如果没有正确的仓库标志和没有条形码的标签，那么好的定位方案可能会失败。Signs and labels tell the story of how to navigate a warehouse, and they communicate information with staff. A great location scheme can fail without proper warehouse signage and labels with barcodes in place.
例如，垂直排列标签（也称为totem labels）是多层仓库货架的绝佳解决方案。这些标签标记了每个货架托架的位置，用于标识存储，拣选和库存管理的产品。如果您需要能够从地面扫描最高层，则totem labels消除了对远程扫描的需求，并最大程度地减少了潜在的混乱和扫描错误。For instance, vertical location labels, also known as totem labels, are an excellent solution for multilevel warehouse racks. These labels mark each rack bay location and are used to identify products for storing, picking and inventory management. If you need to be able to scan the top levels from the ground, totem labels eliminate the need for long-range scanning and minimize potential confusion and scan errors.
另一个最佳做法是在每个通道的末端悬挂仓库位置标志，以快速有效地传达必要的信息。目标应该是，即使是不熟悉您产品的人也可以准确地进行订单拣选。Another best practice is to hang warehouse location signs at the end of each aisle to convey necessary information quickly and effectively. The goal should be that even someone who is not familiar with your products can accurately pick an order.
为什么要投资储位编码方案？
遵循位置定位系统中的标签最佳实践可以提高准确性，更高的效率和节省的人力。正确的策略对于每个工厂可能都是唯一的，因此请务必咨询您的标签和储位优化软件供应商以获取最佳方法。
