Chapter ONE:
1.1 Background of the Study
A store is an essential
limb of an organization. It is the depository of all materials required
by the organizations in the organization and supplies materials as an
when required.
It is important to note that the store is an area of
great expenditure in manufacturing and assembling plant. It is true that
store function is a major cost centre which make use of 70-75% annual
budget of the firm (Dangana 2005) and thus it can affect saving and
therefore contribute significantly and therefore contribute
significantly to the profit of the organization.
However, in today’s
highly competitive and globalized business world, store design is of
great importance as a substantial number of instances have show that
people charge with the function and responsibility of designing and
managing the store are given little or no attention in the organization.
This may be as a result of poor understanding store design or
inappropriate application of it.
More so, the variety of items
sometimes, store is so large that a planned system is necessary to keep
the secured and in order. The stored items should be identified and
issues with minimum effort and minimum time. Thus this calls for a store
structure suitable to carry on various activities efficiently and
productivity and developing a system that ensure safety of men and
materials.
Most often the design of a store house determiners to a
large extent the materials movement pattern and the limited type of
handling equipment that can be used. This result in fact that most
customers demand for goods and services within and outside the
organization are incremental in nature as they opt for speedy,
convenient and reliable delivery of materials and service.
However,
the need to curtail the amount of waste and improve the level of
customer’s service within such organization has brought the use of the
term store design ad its impact in materials handling. It should also be
noted at this junction that any knowledge of how a store should be
designed must incorporate the knowledge of how a store should be
designed must incorporate the knowledge of how materials would be moved.
Therefore,
the research work develops the effective utilization of store design
and it prospect in the organization with reference to enhancing and
ensuring effective materials handling in the organization.
