The safe handling and management of inventory is critical.

The safe handling of inventory is critical for both public safety, and the survival of the business. Safety and inventory go well beyond the type of product and its use. It also includes the physical SKU characteristics and the impacts of its handling. For example, in a FMCG DC (distribution centre), locating the SKU’s in a decreasing weight value along the pick path will reduce picker fatigue.

Placing all fragile SKU’s in the bottom pick locations will reduce breakages.

Stock rotating SKU’s with shelf life will reduce wastes or out of code products to customers if managed and checked frequently (critical for consumer goods).

DG (dangerous goods) have load compatibility requirements as well as volume limitations.

Poor packaging will result in wastes or worse.

The list goes on. In the Inventory Management training, this subject and the business legal requirements are covered in detail.
