10. Warehousing today In the past, a warehouse was only seen as a place to store things. It often took up a lot of ground space and goods were usually picked by hand or using a fork-lift truck. During last few years, however, the role and the design of the warehouse have radically changed. The warehouse is now considered a critical link between a manufacturing plant and the external world with a strong impact on the performance of the entire manufacturing and logistics system. Warehouse automation and complex technologies are now used in order to produce effective operations. Many warehouses today are equipped with warehouse management systems (WMS), which automate the product flow throughout the warehouse and maximize the use of warehouse space through effective picking methods, location consolidation and cross docking. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) have been introduced in many warehouses. These systems involves high-racking storage with a machine operating within the isles, serving both sides of the isle. These systems can pick, replenish, and perform inventory checks without a human operator. In fully automated systems, conveyor belts are very important as they link the different areas of the warehouse and carry the goods to where they are required: for example between the receiving areas and reserve storage, or between the picking and loading areas. The warehouse today would be unthinkable without the barcode. The barcode label on each item provides specific information about the product, which can be transferred to a computer system. This makes it possible to locate the item’s position in the warehouse and find it again. By using automated technology, such as barcode scanners and RFID (radio frequency identification), warehouse inventory and product flow can be effectively managed. Combined with modern IT systems, barcodes enable warehouse staff to track and trace all items in the warehouse at any given time and usually in real time. Vocabulary notes fork-lift truck -вилочный автопогрузчик manufacturing plant -промышленное предприятие picking - сортировка, комплектование, сбор заказа location -местоположение, размещение consolidation - объединение, укрупнение crossdocking - сквозная система складирования (кросс-докинг) high-racking storage - высокостеллажный способ хранения replenish - пополнять, обновлять (запасы, ресурсы) reserve storage -запасный склад Task 1.

After that you enter the packing location dialogue. M. What is the next step? P. Well, following that you can see and access all positions in the picking container. M. I see. P. If you see this function, you can form one or several packages and once the package is complete, the system will automatically calculate the weight using a data interface between the scales and the system. M. Sounds good. What about the shipping labels? P. This is actually the next step. The system will print the shipping label after you have selected the means of transport. And now we come to the last stage of this process. After the order has been completed, the delivery note is printed automatically. Vocabulary notes integrated system - единая система barcode - штрих-код delivery note - товарная накладная, извещение о доставке b) Put the steps in this integrated packing location system in the correct order (1 - 8) You scan the barcode of the shipping label. The system calculates the weight of the package. You enter the system. You choose means of transport. You can put together packages. The shipping labels are printed. You can see and access all positions in the container. The order is complete – the system prints delivery note. Task 5. Read and translate the text describing warehouse areas. First of all, there is the receiving area. That’s where all incoming goods arrive and documentation is checked and recorded. Goods are often unpacked here to make their format more suitable for warehouse handling. The back-up storage area holds most of our warehouse inventory. In the order picking area the goods are selected in the right quantities, that means the quantities required by the customer. Here we also break bulk. That means, for example after receiving goods in large quantities (E.G. pallets), we need to pack them in smaller separate units for the customer. In the sortation area we deal with smaller order sizes. Sometimes several orders have been batched together to simplify the picking process and now need to be sorted down to individual orders. After picking the goods are consolidated and made ready for dispatch. Depending on the customer’s requirements the goods may be packed into cartons or cases or they are wrapped. Some warehouses also provide special services such as labelling. This part of warehouse is called collation and value added services . The final stage in warehouse operations is the marshalling and dispatch area. The goods are brought together to form vehicle loads and are then loaded onto vehicles for dispatch. Vocabulary notes sortation -сортировка marshalling and dispatch - сортировка и отправка receiving - получен collation and value-added services - систематизация и услуги, создающие добавочную стоимость back-up storage - резервное хранилище order picking - формирование заказа, отбор изделий по заказу handling - обработка груза breakbulk - разбивать крупную партию груза на мелкие vehicles -транспортные средства 11. Container services Containers are large steel boxes, 20 to 40 feet in length, can hold most cargoes including liquids, and are transported by lorries or trains to ports where they are loaded on to container vessels and shipped. Because of their sealing to prevent pilfering they are safe, and goods are also protected against constant handling. They are versatile, loading top, front, or side, and can cut a ship’s laytime (waiting time) down by 60-70 per cent. Small parcels from different shippers can be grouped together (consolidation) at a depot if they are for the same destination, and special groupage rates are offered to consignees. Most ports in the world have facilities for loading and unloading containers, and if they do not have them, the container can be delivered to a port with facilities, then loaded on to trucks and taken to the customer. Vocabulary notes ship (v) -отправлять, отгружать shipper - отправитель seal (v) -опечатывать, опломбировать lay time -сталийное время, стояночное время consignee -грузополучатель Task 1. Read a presentation of a transport company employee. He presents some container options to a potential customer. First of all, we offer the general purpose container for any general dry cargo. It comes with timber floor has various lashing devices to secure the load. These lashing points are located horizontally at floor level and vertically next to door corner posts. Our refrigerated container, called “reefer”, can be used for delicate cargo and perishables. It is temperature controlled and is particularly suitable for cargo that needs regulated or cool temperatures. With our reefer your cargo reaches its destination in perfect condition. If you want to ship liquids, for example, foodstuffs or chemicals, we can produce you with our “tanktainer”. This is a standard container frame with a tank fitted inside. As an extra, we also offer tank containers with electric plugs in case the cargo needs cooling of heating during transport. For bulky cargo we recommend the open-top container. It comes with PVC tarpaulin cover instead of a roof panel to allow loading from the top. The doors can be removed to make loading easier. Vocabulary notes lash -закреплять, крепить perishables -скоропортящиеся товары PVC -поливинилхлорид (покрытие) tarpaulin - чехол, брезент bulky cargo - навалочный груз frame - каркас, структура Task 2.
