Firstly, the expiry date of the incoming goods should be validated to know how long it can stay taking into consideration your stock balance. Your stock balance would give you an idea on how to re-stock and not to either overshoot or request less.  Secondly,stack the goods in such a way that the stock can be easily taken in a short while. Keep a daily record of stock movement; either you disburse in piece meal or in large quantity. Issue out goods with defective packaging condition first not considering FIFO. On a condition that the new stock has a closer expiry date compared to the available stock LIFO will be put to use. Do proper palleting and label your goods well (quantity and name) to avoid forgeting some. There are many more ways to manage quickly large quantity of product in a warehouse.

Have to classify goods according to their classifications and categories, stored according to their class and movement of stocks. For easy identification of goods need to put identification label with name /description of goods, we may indicate the supplier 'sname and the date received the items. With that we can easily monitored also the shelf life of the items and easy product identification. Also for proper handling and storage we may use pallets for proper filing and easy retrieval of goods inside the warehouse.

Start at the very begining:

Open each inward shipment cartons  and see what is included. From there, make a mini stocking pile in each box. Knowing where they will eventually be housed, put close-proximity items together, so that you can then pull them to the correct spot on your warehouse floor and stock them quickly.

Make fast moving items more accessible

 

Analyzing the stock layout and Creating & Stacking the stocks zone wise for easy identification and easy access

If required we can use the WMS sysytem and can track each and every stock @ CFC level or @ item level

 

Continuous monitoring of aging of inventory to eliminate expiry stocks in fmcg and to plan the liquidation of those aging stocks .

Eliminate the traffic in the aisles and ensure the gangways and aisles are clean for easy and smooth movement

 

Keeping the warehouse team informed about process &  practices to be followed and taking the continuous feedback for continual improvement

 

Ensuring the document process and continuous training to the team
