Analysis of Material Storage in the Raw Material Warehouse Using the Shared Storage Method at PT.XYZ

Abstract

PT.XYZ is currently experiencing problems in improving the efficiency of raw material storage in the warehouse, as seen from the inefficient placement of materials and the length of time to retrieve materials. The purpose of this research is to provide a proposal for improving the layout of the raw material warehouse by using the shared storage method and applying the FIFO (First In First Out) method to keep the order of the outgoing materials in accordance with the order of entry, so as to improve the efficiency of the warehouse layout. By applying the shared storage method, the data analysis proposes adding two storage racks based on material type to increase the total rack capacity from 9000 to 10800 boxes. The arrangement of storage racks is based on the frequency of material requests, so that frequently requested materials are placed closer to the entrance. It is hoped that this proposal can improve the overall operational efficiency of the warehouse by avoiding material storage in inappropriate locations and speeding up material retrieval to improve warehouse efficiency.
