The Challenge
A decade of racking from several suppliers had made every inspection a research project.
- Two location-marking schemes, so one position could be described two ways.
- Load ratings scattered across suppliers' paperwork, some for configurations since changed.
- FEFO rotation depended on the picker reaching past nearer stock.
The Solution
One powder-coated system, one addressing scheme, one certified load record.
- The standing installation surveyed and documented before anything was proposed.
- Mixed estate replaced with long span and pallet racking under one location scheme.
- Date faces visible from the aisle, so the FEFO pick is also the shortest reach.
- Quarantine and rejected stock in physically distinct, marked areas.
- Handed over with certified load ratings and matching load notices on the racking.
The Outcome
Inspections became a matter of producing documents, not assembling them.
- One name per location across the building.
- One certified load set that matches what stands on the floor.
- Rotation no longer depends on picker memory.
“Inspections stopped being an event. The documentation is one set now, and it matches what is actually on the floor.”
