Flow- is a logical sequence of operations within the warehouse where each activities located as close as possible to that which precedes it and also the function that follows it.
Facility layout and design is an important component of a business's overall operations, both in terms of maximizing the effectiveness of the production process and meeting the needs of employees. The basic objective of layout is to ensure a smooth flow of work, material, and information through a system. The basic meaning of facility is the space in which a business's activities take place. The layout and design of that space impact greatly how the work is done—the flow of work, materials, and information through the system. The key to good facility layout and design is the integration of the needs of people (personnel and customers), materials (raw, finishes, and in process), and machinery in such a way that they create a single, well-functioning system.
We are concerned with the controlled and uninterrupted movement of materials, people and traffic with if possible no cross flow clashes or areas of high traffic or work density. It is also concerned with the awareness of where material is located within the system, and the status and location in the storage and handling equipment in media.
