Scenario Sector Retail Operating hours 2 shifts, 8 hours a day Mon-Fri, 6.30am 11.30pm

SKU Peaks - seasonal 20% peaks in Apr/May and Oct/Nov for number of SKUs.

SKU Growth 5% per annum. Design timeline 5 years Current Products (non-peak) 5,000 SKUs o Pallet area (60% of SKUs) (Hint: calculate pallet spots required) Each SKU has 1 picking location (pallet spot) plus an average of 5 storage spots. Each pallet is Standard US (40 x 48) built 48 inches high.

o Shelving area (30% of SKUs) ((Hint: calculate volume of shelf space required) Each SKU has an average dimension of 12x18x10 and an average quantity holding of 20 items, no replenishment locations.

o Bulk area (10% of SKUs) (Hint: calculate floor footprint space required)

Each SKU has an average dimension of 5x6x8 (LxWxH) and an average quantity of 4 items, no replenishment locations.

Double the footprint floor space to allow for access (aisles).

Storage:

Pallet Racking - 5 pallet levels high, 96" bay width (2 pallets), and depth is 42" with 8" gap between back-to-back racking (see picture in excel template). Assume 200 foot lengths of racking and 13 aisle width. o Shelving - 10 foot high, 48" deep, configurable shelves. Assume 4 foot walkways between back to back shelving units. Assume 50 foot lengths of shelving

Office Requirements 20,000 square feet (Management, HR, admin, etc.) Shipping/Staging area (35 ft deep by length of facility)

Receiving area (35 ft deep by length of facility)

Ceilings 40 foot clear

Aisle widths 13 foot

Walkway widths - 4 foot

Mechanical Handling Equipment:

o Pallet Jacks 10 o Single pallet Walkies 20 o Double pallet Walkies - 10 o Forklift Trucks - 15

Other space considerations (about 20,000 sf required for below): o Battery Changing o Maintenance o Returns/Inspection area o Security o Janitorial o Staff Changing Rooms o Washrooms o Cafeteria o Forklift and MHE parking o Cardboard compactor o Plastic wrap compactor o Trash Report 2. Submit one Excel workbook (with at least 2 sheets/tabs in to Brightspace (D2L Warehouse Design). Expectations are that the report will answer the fundamental questions: a. How many square feet does the DC need to accommodate peaks and annual growth for the next 5 years?
