We are preparing our warehouse for the implementation of RF. While re-labeling our rack and shelving, we attempt to leave enough space in the floor section (and if necessary - on the top shelf) for overstock. Prior to RF, these two locations were basically considered 'extensions' of the actual Aisle-Section-Shelf location assignment. I'm curious to know whether those of you already using RF treat these areas (floor and top) the same way or do you actually assign unique locations to these as well?

It would seem easier to not have to 're-locate' an item whose mid-shelf located bin can be restocked simply from the area directly above or below without having to 'adjust' the location. But I'd be interested in hearing pros/cons/experiences from those of you having some experience.

For those of you whom assign locations to the floor, I'd also be interested in what you found to best work for floor labeling.

Thanks, in advance, for any information you can share.

 

Answer #1:   

We label our floor and top shelf's with locations because we want to keep track of our mtrl regardless where it is. This way if an order calls for more than what the primary has it will automatically go to the overstock to pull the mtrl, Keeping the primary at its current level and pulling from the overstock. 

For our floor labels we actually hung a sign with the barcode on it on the rack and since it's always the same ending letter (a). Users who have to scan from it know which code to scan.

 

Agree, every shelf, rack we assign a unique location.
