In warehouse management, there are some general principles of cargo storage. Through these principles, we can manage the warehouse more easily and avoid the problems of warehouse chaos, crowded passages, and cluttered goods.

   Let's take a look at the principles of cargo storage!

   First, the channel-oriented principle

   In order to make the items easy to enter and leave the warehouse and move easily in the warehouse, the basic condition is to store the items facing the aisle.

   Second, the principle of first in first out

   The goods received in the previous time are displayed in front of the goods received in the later period, so as to ensure that the products with the production date in the front are sold first. It refers to the method of calculating the cost of the issued inventory at the unit price of the first-in-stock inventory according to the principle of first-in-stock-first-out.

   Three, the principle of fixed goods

  The goods should be kept in the same place as much as possible. The same item or similar items should be stored in the same place, which can improve the efficiency of operation and storage, and also increase the familiarity of employees with the placement of items in the warehouse, shorten the time for entering and leaving the warehouse, and at the same time, put similar items in the vicinity. Place is also an important way to increase efficiency.

   Four, the principle of light on the top and heavier on the bottom

   Arrange the storage location according to the weight of the item. When arranging the placement, of course, the heavy things should be placed at the bottom, and the light things should be placed on the top of the shelves. Large items that require manual handling are based on the height of the waist. This is an important principle for improving efficiency and ensuring safety.

  5. The principle of easy access and easy release

  Select the location according to the frequency of delivery. Items with high frequency of shipment and purchase should be placed near the entrance and exit and easy to operate; items with poor mobility should be placed a little farther from the entrance and exit; seasonal items should be placed in a place based on their seasonal characteristics.

  6. Principles of special handling

  Some goods are different in shape from other goods and take up space when they are placed together. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the storage method according to the shape when storing. It is also important to store according to the shape of the item. For example, standard push products should be stored on pallets or shelves.

   Seven, keep the principle as it is

  The storage of goods needs to be responsible for the goods, so keep the goods as they were before entering the warehouse to the greatest extent and reduce damage.

  8. Safety Principles

  The safe storage of warehouse items is very important. Safety aspects include fire prevention, theft prevention, and insect and rat prevention. Stacking requirements are as follows:

  1. Clearly mark the storage location and channel;

  2. Do not obstruct passages and entrances and exits;

  3. The stacking of materials must be stable;

  4, reduce unnecessary handling;

  5. The emergency use of fire fighting equipment shall not be hindered;

  6. Do not block electrical switches and first aid equipment;

  7, stacking without relying on walls or structural pillars;

  8. Flammable and explosive items must be stored separately.
