Question:
The scene: you work in logistics for Eno Hammocks corporate. You’ve done such a great job figuring out where to locate facilities and which suppliers to use, they’ve given you a special assignment: design and manage their new warehouse that’s opening just outside Greenville.
a) Receiving zone: Every week, the warehouse is expected to receive 15,000 pallets of product. Trucks may deliver Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm and take an average of 13.2 minutes to unload. Each truck delivers an average of 22.3 pallets. How many docking doors should you install?
b) Storage zone: Your warehouse will handle 3 types of products: Single-person hammocks, two-person hammocks, and hammock straps. You are trying to decide what type of storage policy to use (either dedicated or random). The analytics team sent you the following table of the inventory levels by product (the units are in number of pallets). The data comes from a similar facility for the first 2 quarters of 2020.
