22030.11.1 Establish Warehousing Facilities In Line With Distribution Plans

  • The warehouses shall be material distribution facilities and not merely places to store supplies. Planning and layout of space are dependent upon the types of supplies being stored. At all facilities used to store and distribute materials, entry/exit controls shall be in place to restrict unauthorized personnel from having access to the inventory (except in cases involving emergencies concerning health and safety).

  • Subsistence supplies shall be protected properly from extreme changes of temperature, dampness, rodents, and insect infestation. Security items shall be stored in vaults or safes. Sensitive items, subject to pilferage, shall be properly protected. Hazardous commodities, including explosives, flammables, and oxidizing agents, shall be properly segregated from each other and other types of supplies and stored in buildings designed for this purpose.

  • Every effort shall be made to:

    • Use space in the most effective and efficient manner.

    • Use pallets and material handling equipment effectively.

    • Use a direct flow assembly line principle.

    • Establish an effective warehouse and storage layout plan.
