ADVANCED WAREHOUSE SYSTEMS PROJECT B A R A K AT Y O U S E F GHARIB JAD K H A L I D Z U N AY YA R A V A I D YA I M R A N I M T I YA Z Layout • Total no. of pallets: 505 • Total no. of pallets on ground:145 • No. of cross aisle: 01 • No. of aisle: 04 (2x15m, 2x14m) • Area utilized by pallets: 170.4 m². DEPOSIT STILL RX 6025/Li-Ion • Maximum load capacity: 2500 kg • Maximum height: 3650-5950 mm • Maximum width of machine: 1199 mm • Using forklift will speed up the process of moving the pallets to and from the loading/unloading areas SCHMITZ CARGOBULL S-CS COIL TRAILER • Area: 84 m^2 • Load Capacity: 12000-15000 kg • No. of trailer: 03 Material handling • The use of a hydraulic jack will ease the material handling process as it requires a low amount of effort to move heavy pallets to and from the loading areas. • Forklift will be used to fetch pallets from a high place (due to pallets being placed on top of each other). Warehouse indicators • Area of warehouse that is utilized: 460 m²; of which is utilized by pallets: 170.4 m². • Average storing time for one product/pallet: forklift operator would take a maximum of 15 seconds to pick item from deposit area and place it at the furthest position for storage. • Loading/unloading time for one product/pallet: employee would take an average of 30 seconds to move items to and from loading/unloading area using hydraulic jack • Number of staff required: 1 forklift operator per shift; 1 employee to handle loading/unloading per shift and if simultaneous loading and unloading is needed then an extra hydraulic jack and employee are needed; 1 warehouse manager/controller. Costs • Cost: • Cost of machinery: • • Price of used forklift: 28.000 € • Price of 2 hydraulic jack: 446€ • Total = 28.446 € Wages: • Forklift operator wage: 4.5 €/hr = 36 €/day • Warehouse worker loading/unloading wage: 3.95 €/hr = 31.6 €/day • Warehouse manager wage: 8 €/hr = 64 €/day • Total wages per month = 2.632 € Payback period • We receive 6€ x 460 m² = 2.760 €/month • Amount of money left after paying for wages = 2.760 € - 2.632 € = 128 €/month • Payback period to pay for machines = 28.446 € / 128 € = 222 months or 18.5 years. • Possible solutions: • Decrease costs by finding cheaper machinery or renting machinery; find cheaper labor; increase price of rent.
