Loading, unloading and handling operations are not only heavy work, but also a key link in warehousing operations that involves the largest amount of labor and high incidence of cargo damage. The rationalization of cargo handling can be achieved through the following measures:
1. Reduce the number of loading and unloading
a. Accurately grasp the circulation trend of warehousing items, determine the goods circulation plan according to the warehousing agreement, reasonably select the storage space, and adopt point-based storage when necessary.
b. Prevent the goods from being squeezed out of the warehouse and prevent the goods from being dumped in the warehouse.
c. Reasonably organize various logistics activities and eliminate repeated loading and unloading.
2. Adopt palletization, integration and other group operations
Put the goods on the pallet, and then carry out loading and unloading together with the pallet. If the goods can be released together with the pallet, the efficiency of the whole process of loading and unloading will be greatly improved. In addition, other equipment such as rope nets, cargo boxes or other larger containers can be used for group integration, which will greatly improve the efficiency of loading and unloading.
Remind you: When using group equipment such as pallets, be sure to use standardized group equipment.
3. Make the moving distance of loading and unloading the shortest
a. Make the carrying vehicles and handling tools as close as possible to the location where the goods are stored, or try to make the vehicles enter the loading and unloading area.
b. Make the loading and unloading equipment directly enter the working position, and eliminate the horizontal handling that completely uses manpower as much as possible. Remind you that when using group equipment such as pallets, you must use standardized group equipment.
4. Labor-saving operation
The main methods of labor-saving operations are:
a. Make full use of gravity. When unloading from trucks and railway wagons, use the height difference between the truck and the ground or small trucks, use tools such as skateboards and chutes, and rely on the gravity of the goods to work from top to bottom.
b. To reduce the impact of gravity.
① When loading and unloading, try to cooperate with simple machines and tools, and try to avoid lifting heavy objects, so as to reduce the influence of gravity, reduce physical consumption, and achieve the purpose of labor saving.
②Build a vehicle operation platform with the same height as the carriage in the outbound operation area.
5. Make the connection of loading, unloading and handling operations smooth
Try to avoid the phenomenon that the goods are unloaded first, stacked on the ground, and then loaded on the ground from the ground, and the loading and unloading and handling of the vehicle are out of joint.
6. Improve the flexibility index of goods
Avoid scattering the goods on the ground during the loading, unloading and handling of the goods. Try to put the goods on the pallet, delivery trolley, or load them on the trolley. It is best to put them directly on the conveyor belt to improve the flexibility of cargo handling. performance index, thereby improving the completion efficiency of the next process.
