Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify space requirements
  • The medium-term and long-term storage needs of the organisation are assessed to facilitate planning in accordance with the business plan of the enterprise and legislative requirements
  • Product type, picking frequencies, value, fragility, weight, handling characteristics, quantity and holding periods are assessed to consider type and amount of storage
  • Facility is assessed to determine the stock holding and handling requirements for each inventory item
  • Volume requirements are calculated to ensure that ongoing stock holding needs are met
  • The total space requirement is calculated and used to formulate plan for space utilisation
       
Element: Identify safety and security requirements
  • An assessment is made of risks to ensure maximum safety and security for personnel, stock and facilities
  • Storage handling security and incident/emergency procedures for each class or type of product are identified and documented
  • Fire prevention and firefighting systems are identified in accordance with building code regulations and storage material requirements
  • An evacuation plan is developed in accordance with the safety program of the enterprise
       
Element: Develop documentation system
  • A system for recording and tracing stock location, receival, throughput and despatch is developed and implemented to enable reporting, quality assurance and financial requirements to be met
  • A system for recording communication with carriers, customers and employees is developed and implemented to assess operational effectiveness and to provide data for system improvement
       
Element: Design storage zones
  • Space requirements and equipment operation are accurately assessed to facilitate the planning of warehouse zones
  • An assessment is made of the facility to enable the most effective use of available space
  • Positioning of storage areas, bays, work stations and the like is undertaken in accordance with data obtained from the planning process
  • Provision for maintenance and cleaning is catered for
       
Element: Evaluate facility utilisation
  • A continual system of review is used involving regular checks to ensure storage areas and systems are functioning at optimum levels
  • Receiving and despatch systems provide efficient operations
  • Storage and handling systems provide ease of access and comply with ergonomic principles
  • Product handling and storage minimises product damage, contamination and stock losses
  • Facility layout remains sufficiently flexible to meet changing storage and handling requirements
  • Appropriate reporting systems are established and used to maintain data for the design of improved facilities and systems
