Title: Chapter 9 Unitizing


1
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Many of the world class receiving principles
    apply to world class shipping except in reverse.

2
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • World Class Shipping Principles
  • Direct loading (chap 4)
  • Advanced shipping notice preparation (chap 4)
  • Staging in racks (chap 4)
  • Container optimization
  • Container loading and void filling
  • Weight checking
  • Automated loading
  • Dock management

3
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Container Optimization
  • Design and selection of shipping containers
    presents excellent opportunities to increase
    logistics efficiencies
  • Excess costs and inefficiencies associated with
  • Mis-sized containers
  • Mis-labeled containers
  • Weak containers
  • Awkwardly configured containers

4
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Container Optimization
  • Containers are building blocks of the supply
    chain whether
  • Cartons
  • Totes
  • Pallets
  • Trailers
  • 20 40 ocean containers
  • Rail cars
  • Air containers
  • Can cause the cost of inefficiencies to multiply
    across all supply chain partners

5
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Containers
  • Protect, secure, identify merchandise
  • Should stack nest easily
  • Collapse when empty
  • Handle comfortably
  • Fit together with other containers comfortably
  • Provide means for tracking tracing
  • Be reusable/returnable reduce waste
  • Plastic, collapsible, multi-use corrugated
  • Minimize total life cycle cost of containerization

6
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Container Optimization
  • Costs Considerations
  • Purchase cost
  • Packaging cost
  • Handling cost
  • Space cost
  • Maintenance cost
  • Product damage
  • Security losses (theft)

7
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Loading Void Filling
  • Load plans should be developed
  • to maximize cube weight utilization
  • Balance loads within the container
  • Organize loads for ease of unloading
  • Environmentally friendly (returnable reusable)
    void fill/dunnage should be used to prevent
    shifts damage
  • Styrofoam pads
  • Air packs (reusable)
  • Polystyrene peanuts

8
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Weigh Checking
  • Outbound containers should be weighed cubed for
    load-planning purposes
  • Should be used to identify ay picking or packing
    errors before loading

9
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Automatic Direct Loading
  • Staging is the most space labor-insensive
    activity in shipping
  • Direct loading is used to by-pass staging when
    possible
  • Uses pallet jacks counterbalance lift trucks
  • Or, Automated loading can be employed using
  • Pallet conveyors (interfacing w/ specially
    designed trailers)
  • Automated forklifts
  • Automated guided vehicles

10
Chapter 9Unitizing Shipping
  • Dock Management
  • Organize dock so as to minimize time and
    paperwork
  • Assign incoming trucks to dock locations near
    put-away centroid
  • Assign outgoing trucks to dock locations near
    where load it is picking up is staged
