Meeting two - 1 hour, lunch on Friday

Pick zone Map by Crush Class Serpentine order - start bottom left

Crush class is more than just weight!

Visual representative of their slotting Other means blocked Empty slots are bad

Assigned is a status (location) that means someone has deliberately slotted an item in a location Assigned location are called static

Other ones are called dynamic, which we need periodically need to assign emergency replenishment (reactive work)

Pickface= location

Topping off, is a the proactive way to prevent emergency replenishment

Static might hold two pallets (gets topped of when it is below 1 pallet) Dynamic will hold one pallet

Slotting tool already show items that we already have slotted (rows without background colors)

Locations are organized by CC

Green bg colors: suggestions , two reasons it would show up

Location meets the dimensional requirements for the product: Pickface doesn't already have anything

Open Q's CC, asc or desc pickface = location, right? Yes

THE POINT OF SLOTTING (for case picking) Prevent things from showing up in the emergency replenishment queue ID high volume items, categorize then into a cc, slot them into a static location that meets the item's dimensional requirements, which sometimes requires them emptying sub optimized locations This slotting tool is for analysis

Green background rows rank based on rank (aka pallets) which is actually the pallets requested within the next week

There is a person who does this slotting does this for about 1 day a week Needs to have a button spot for the action click

Meeting 3

Tony identified 4 phases for the project for J&J

0. Dashboard (doesn't matter to me)
1. Facility overview - Labor (doesn't matter to me)
2. Slotting Analysis and Manual Fixing
3. One stop slotting tool

Three main screens

• Slotter's Dashboard
• Pick Zone Map
• Slotting Analysis/Tool

Slotter's Dashboard Feature Ideas

• Number of things in the wrong location by crush class
• Number of aged items in a pick face
• Number of Items in multiple pickfaces (that shouldn't be in more than one place)
• Number of pickfaces with items that are not forecasted
• Forecast items per crush class (about 10 crush classes)
• Utilization percentage (items slotted last week that were picked from)
• Total number of items that need slotting (about 150)
• Number of Empty of locations (either total or by crush class)

Split these issues out into three separate items. Work on Dashboard first.
