The Warehouse A product must fit the warehouse's material handling system. This often means palleting loose loads or repalleting loads from nonstandard pallets. Depending on the operation, anywhere from 33 to 70% of product received at a warehouse must be handled manually before an order is placed in stock. Manual handling, in addition to being costly, is also a primary source of damage from dropping. In the picking aisles, stock must be clearly identifiable from every side. Multicolor graphic displays serve only to obscure vital information from the picker. A box labeled "Golden Triangle Farms" does not inform the stock-picker of the contents. Containers should be strong enough to be dragged off the pallet by one end, and stiff enough that they don't distort and release their contents when handled in less than ideal fashion. Glue flaps must have enough adhesive to resist abusive handling.The Warehouse A product must fit the warehouse's material handling system.
