Question

Transcribed Image Text:Situation: The Sure To Peal Paint Company stores all its metal compressed gas
containers in a warehouse. These long cylindrical metal tanks contain various
gases used in manufacturing cans of spray paint. The gas tanks are delivered to
the warehouse by truck. Two receiving dockworkers unload the containers from
the delivery trucks and place them on four wheel trucks. Two materials handlers
are responsible for pushing the loaded trucks into the warehouse, unloading the
tanks and setting them up on end. The two materials handlers spend a major
portion of their day moving loads of the gas tanks into the warehouse and placing
them into the proper storage locations. In total, there are five different types of
gases that in equal proportion make up 98% of all gas handled.
Question: Management would like to identify a better way to handle these gas
tanks. How can the handling operation be improved?
Situation: The Rosemarie Cosmetic company has a warehouse of 20 high pallet
racks serviced by counter-balanced fork trucks. The aisles between racks are 12
feet wide. Storage space has become a premium with new product lines being
added. A warehouse expansion is currently being planned.
Question: How can the warehouse handling system be improved without
expanding the warehouse?
