Design of a Cold Room to Accommodate Excess Material for an External Warehouse

This project was conducted to design a cold room at an external warehouse, with the aim to increase the efficiency of inventory report cross-checking and to develop a standard operation procedure (SOP) for material movement. The data obtained is based on observation and a pilot test simulation before setup the actual design of the cold room. To execute this project, one design of the cold room has been designed to accommodate excess material at a minimum of 100 pallets. Therefore, material can be stored in the cold room with a specific temperature. The outcomes for the cold design can optimize space and accommodate more material in the cold room. This project also aims to increase the efficiency of the cross-checking inventory report between the internal and external warehouses and to develop a new SOP for movement of materials. To increase efficiency of the cross-checking report, one method has been suggested and some observations have been performed for movement of materials concept for SOP development in this project. The outcomes of this project are that one can store a higher volume of excess raw material to the cold room and a higher efficiency of the cross-checking inventory report between both warehouses.
