Hi. Can you please help me solve this problem in excel file? Can you provide me screenshot of excel file the calculations and tabs I can add?

An Office-products Wholesaler receives orders until early evening and then picks and ships in the night so that the product is at the customer's site at the start of business the next day. Because response time is critical, this DC set up a fast-pick area.

Most items are relatively small (staplers, toner cartridges, pens, etc.) and are stored in bin-shelving. Use thissmall subset of SKUs.

Download small subset of SKUs.(This data is courtesy ofwarehouse-science.com.)

The data fields are as follows:

  • SKU ID: The unique identifier for this SKU
  • Length of the storage unit, in inches
  • Width of the storage unit, in inches
  • Height of the storage unit, in inches
  • Pieces per case (that is, the standard number of pieces in each storage unit)
  • Pieces sold during the recent reporting period
  • Picks (number of times this SKU was requested by a customer) during the recent reporting period
  • Maximum number of storage units likely to be held in the warehouse

Questions

Use the fluid model to answer the following questions. All computations can be done on a spreadsheet.

  • Rank the SKUs by the strength of their claim to forward storage if slotting to minimize restocks.
  • Assume you have decided to store 10 SKUs in a forward pick location and will give each one the same amount of space. Which SKUs should you choose to minimize total labor costs (picking plus restocking)?
  • Suppose five sections of static shelving are available, with 5 shelves to a section. Each shelf opening is 12-3/4 inches high x 18 inches deep x 41.25 inches wide. What SKUs would you store here and in what amounts if you want to minimize total labor? Assume picks from the shelving are estimated to average 0.5 minutes each, compared with 2 minutes each if picking from bulk storage. Restocks are estimated to average 2.75 minutes each.
