Consider the following functional flow network for a unit-load warehouse. Receiving Reserve Area Bottom Level Shipping Carton Flow Rack Consider the following parameters to determine the number of workers needed. • Each shift is 8 hours with a half hour lunch break and two 15 minute breaks • No personnel sharing between departments • (#1) 500 pallets received in the Receiving Area are moved to the Reserve Area in cases o 50% are Item A (150 cases per pallet) • Case put away & picking rate=250 per hour . 30% are Item B (100 cases per pallet) . Case put away & picking rate= 150 per hour . 20% are Item C (100 cases per pallet) • Case put away & picking rate= 50 per hour • Case movement for each item is the same as above for #2, #3, and #4 areas . (#2) Item C & half of Item A are kept in cases in the Reserve Area and move to Shipping . (#3) The other half of Item A is moved in to the Bottom Level . (#4) Item B is moved in cases to the Carton Flow Rack • (#5) Bottom Level is moved to Shipping, where case picking rate is 1000 per hour • (#6) Carton Flow Rack moves items in cases to Shipping with a picking rate of 750 per hour. 1. How many workers in Area 1 (Receiving to Reserve)? 2. How many workers in Area 2 (Reserve to Shipping)? 3. How many workers in Area 5 (Bottom Level to Shipping)? 4. How many workers total in the warehouse?
