Ensuring first in is first out
August 1st 2007 Automotive component
manufacturer FCC Europe has
improved small component
picking efficiency and first
in, first out stock rotation at
its factory in Milton Keynes
through the introduction of
dynamic live picking based
around full-width roller Span
Track modules from The Live
Storage Company.
The new installation was
devised to replace inefficient
steel shelving and
conventional racking that was
no longer adequate.
The company had
previously been stocking ten
different spring components
in boxes on steel shelving
and conventional racking in
its production stores but
recognised this had
limitations. The area took up
a large space, it was difficult
to identify items on the
shelving and there was no
way of enforcing good first
in, first out stock rotation.
The Live Storage
Company devised and built
an installation based to
create a single bay of live
storage adjacent to the
existing production store. More articles from The Live Storage Company Limited: |
