Defining Items

Define the items the warehouse contains. Typically, these items and
descriptions are already defined in the system that is currently processing
invoices.

Calculating Available Space

Note: Cubing is an advanced feature of WMS that is supported in the RF
Professional version ONLY.

Calculate the space available for item storage to support the cubing feature.
For more information about the cubing feature, please refer to

“Implement-

ing Cubing for a Location” on page 99

and

“Calculating Item Cubic Space”

on page 116

.

Establishing Material Flow

After the usable warehouse space and item size have been determined, you
are ready to identify the process by which material is moved through the
warehouse (i.e., material flow). A good starting point would be the move-
ment of the top twenty percent of inventory.

The basic warehouse layout example below shows material flow through a
warehouse. What are the requirements of moving material into storage and
out of storage at your warehouse facility?
