Improving Warehouse Management Efficiency of Canned Tuna Factories with Automatic Warehouse System

Abstract

This research aims 1) to study the problem of using the conventional canned tuna warehouse. 2) To develop an automated warehouse system and measure the efficiency after use and 3) to study the comparative results between using a conventional canned tuna warehouse and using an automated warehouse. Use a mixed research model during experimental research, quantitative research and qualitative research. The sample used for this study was 300 employees of the warehouse, labeling, packaging, and loading planning departments from a total population of 756, 756 people tested using the system and 16 in-depth interviews. The findings found that, after using the automated warehouse Product cost reduction, decreased 25,808,504 million baht from 35,529,836 million baht or 72.63%, and area reduction, decreased 16,937.7 square meters from 21,354 square meters or 79.31%. The reduction in storage time decreased by 5,372 hours/year to 100, a reduction from the cancellation of all warehouse leases. Furthermore, the product status display decreased by 900 hours / year to 100%, a reduction from the use of real-time display systems, no display lead times. Whereas, in the automated warehouse system canned tuna factory there is a very important level of functionality, listed in chronological order. Receiving function transport function product status reporting function, and storage function these functions affect the efficiency after the use of automated warehouses in the for reducing storage time reduction of storage costs reduction of storage space real-time display of product status in order.
