v) Cantilever Racks. This kind of storage rack is called due to the leverage technique used to support the load-bearing arms (Figure 7). Cantilever racks typically contain a row of single upright columns, spread out several feet apart, with arms spreading out from one or both sides of the upright to form foundations for goods storage. The columns rest on the warehouse floor, avoiding the structure from toppling backward or forward, and diagonal and horizontal bracing between uprights avoids the structure from toppling inside or out. Owing to their long, unobstructed support, these kinds of racks are good for storing tubes, pipes, metal rods, bar stock, wood poles, and other goods of similar shapes. Figure 7: Cantilever Racks

The benefit of a vertical carousel is utilization of vertical warehouse space. Drawbacks are restrictions on weights, widths, and depths, and they usually more expensive than horizontal carousels.
• Horizontal carousels rotate around a horizontal track. A motor, fixed in the center of the oval, moves the bins along the track. Horizontal carousels can be designed into a much greater variety of heights, widths, depths, and weight capacities than vertical types, and they can be employed for many various warehouse storage applications.
• Drawbacks: The most important negative features are waste of vertical warehouse space. Typically, a worker starts either kind of carousel through manual, microprocessor, or computer controls, moving the preferred bin to the stocking and picking position.
Benefits: Benefits of using carousels are higher labor utilization, improved throughput, better control, space utilization, simplified inventory control and replenishment, and integration with other warehouse systems. An example of a horizontal carousel is shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Horizontal

Colour The storage unit uses a variety of colours, this makes the design more appealing to people and stand out more. The design uses pastel colours which are soft and milky colours (teal, flesh and ochre).

I am not going to say I have not used a self-checkout machine before because I have. They are useful if you have less than ten items so then you can just scan and go. I just think there are too many coming about and starting to take over all transactions. The more amount of regular checkout lanes means more jobs for people. If you cut back on those, then there is less jobs available.
The most important message in the story called “In the Belly of a Clothes Rack,” is that there is racism and it affects people. Crissy is from a mixed family of dark and white skin colored people, Crissy’s mother is white but her father is dark skin colored. Crissy has been discriminated against because the saleswoman thought that Crissy’s mom would be black like Crissy. The saleswoman never even considered that she might be a mix of both. The passage reads, “Even as I could hear Momma's Cris?Crissy?!
Each job is important to every one else’s job. Everything must go in order from start to finish. If there aren’t carts, then there aren’t customers. It’s hard to believe that one small job makes that big of a difference. If it wasn’t for associates in each department then their all of the customers would be lost and wouldn’t know where anything was.
Each of these styles consisted of a vertical support called a column, each column extended from a solid base at the bottom to a shaft in the central part of the column and a capital at the top
In my opinion, one of the concerns of mine about Trader Joe’s is to eventually gat harm because of not having enough technology inside the company. As technology improve each day, it creates a simple world than before. The technology eases our life and so it should do the same to Trader Joe’s in terms of some operational activities. Self-checkout kiosks vanish endless queues and speed ups the process of shopping both for costumer side and seller side.
This should be inconsideration by ensuring that the facility layout is proper and conforms to the behavior of the customers e.g. separating the customer care desk from the cashiers’ counters. Also this is done by ensuring that the capacity is able to contain the production such as where houses which Walmart has several distribution centers in the different states thus enabling the products to reach the

Situation: Concerns and reports about the congestion at shipping dock. Scope: It has been brought to my attention that at Hotstone Tires docks, congestion is a major issue, as pallets of materials has been chosen to be transported with the forklift to tractor outbound tractor trailer. This problem has made the process tedious for stock picking employees, and employees having no choice but no options but to wait their turn, and also go long distance to the ware house to pick up other order to process and put products on the trucks. Since this is not efficient and is potentially slowing down the work process a new system will be implemented to control the smooth flow of traffic, which will enhance and benefit all parties involved in the work
