Warehouse Structure
The character of each area, the doors goods come through, and who does the work.
In Supply Chain → Warehouse · 7 screens
| Screen | Kind | What it is | Columns | Fields | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouse Map | Workspace | The floor, drawn: every bin colored by how full it is, the doors, the staging areas and the trailers standing in the yard. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Storage Types | List | What KIND of space each area is, and the two decisions that follow from it: how stock is put away there and how it is taken out. | 10 | 21 | 0 |
| Dock Doors | List | Where a vehicle meets the building. A real constraint: two trailers cannot be on one door, and a load whose door is occupied is a load that will not leave on time. | 9 | 14 | 0 |
| Staging Areas | List | Where goods wait between the door and the rack, or between the pick and the truck. Measured in pallet positions and floor area, which is why it is not a bin. | 8 | 13 | 0 |
| Warehouse Resources | List | The people, trucks and handhelds that do the work. A resource that is a person IS an employee, so their productivity is reported against their record and a leaver stops being a resource without anybody remembering to do it here. | 9 | 17 | 1 |
| Putaway Rules | List | Which storage type an arriving item should go to, in what order to try. Evaluated most specific first: a rule naming this item beats one naming its category. | 10 | 17 | 1 |
| Replenishment Rules | List | Keeping the pick face full from the reserve, so a picker never walks to an empty bin. | 10 | 12 | 1 |
