Figure 7-11: Structure of GBI’s warehouse in San Diego

and shipping (004). Note that whereas Figure 7-9 displays multiple storage
sections for the shelf and pallet storage areas, GBI has elected to not divide
the storage types in the San Diego warehouse into multiple sections. Rather,
each storage type has one storage section—the total section, as illustrated in
Figure 7-11. Going further, GBI does not have picking areas defi ned in its
warehouse. Finally, both the shelf storage and pallet storage have multiple bins.
Note that interim storage types do not require bins to be created in advance.
Business Processes in Practice 7.2 describes the structure of a warehouse
at Steelcase.
