Clearances are only between the external cardboard case and the cans. * Safety Stock Calculations: When calculating the number of openings for the Forward area, you need to consider 10% safety stock. However, this extra 10% should not be taken into account for the calculations of the Reserve Area. The 20% safety stock for Reserve should be calculated only with the basis of the Demand for Reserve, not taking into account the 10% safety in Forward storage. * Case orientation: When deciding how many cases can fit on a pallet, the cases must lie flat on their bottoms. Cases should not be stored sideways. The cans should always be in an upright position. © Do not mix SKUs: It is unacceptable to have more than one SKU in a case or more than one SKU on a pallet. Therefore, the calculations of cases and pallets must be performed per SKU and rounded up to the next integer. «Safety Stock: You can apply the 10% safety stock to the raw demand in cases for each item or to the number of cases of the item. Same thing goes for pallets: The safety stock (20%) can be applied to cases or pallets. Please specify which one you chose, * Total Load Volume: For the Reserve Area, this calculation can be performed considering cases or full pallets. Please specify which one you used. © Truck capacity: When choosing the truck, please make sure that it has enough weight capacity to cary at least a full pallet of product. You have enough information to calculate how much a pallet weighs.Horizontal Carousels: Figure 1 presents a picture of a Horizontal Carousel, highlighting what we call a carrier. You need this to use the Rules of Thumb Guide. Please assume that each carousel contains at most 40 carriers and each carrier has exactly 6 positions for cases.
