scanning process before the transactions can be completed. All Locations and Packages will
be bar-coded and scanned during the process. The WMS is able to track the status for every
single box or pallet stored in our warehouse through a Product ID (PID) that's automatically
assigned by the system.



















Layout of the distribution process that Total Logistics Services

Objectives layout
1. Providing comfort to the workers and catering to worker taste and liking.
2. Giving goods and improved working conditions.

available.
4. Having better control over the productions cycle by having greater flexibility for
changes in the design of the product.
Types of layout.
There are three types of layout such as:
1) Process layout
These layout are also called the functional layouts and are very suitable in the
conditions when the product being prepared are non- standard or involved wide
variations in times of processing of the individuals operation.
2) Product layout
These layout are also known as the line layouts by sequence in such layouts the
manufacturing cycle is small with minimum material handling. The space required is
small and quality control is easy to exercise.
3) Project layout
Such layouts are also referred to as the fixed position layouts the components , heavy
materials sub assemblies all remain fixed at one place and the job is completed by
movements of machines men and tools to the locations of the operations.
