dc.description.abstract | The project is expanding the pharmaceutical company warehouse due to market product demand. Constructing a new building would be too costly and not cost-effective. The identified problem was that significant renovations were needed for the freezer structure to be suitable. Therefore, it was decided to make the facilities appropriate to meet the requirements of a warehouse.
The DMAIC methodology was employed to execute this process. Furthermore, it clarifies that the conversion of the freezer to the warehouse encompassed architectural layouts, access and emergency exit doors, storage racks system, electrical power, fire protection, BAS (temperature and humidity control), OGPe permits, commissioning and qualifications, and new equipment’s.
Additionally, it clarifies that the existing warehouse's capacity is 2,293 pallet spaces. With the expansion by converting the existing freezer structure into a warehouse, an increase of 328 pallet spaces was achieved, resulting in a total storage capacity of 2,621
pallet spaces. Key Terms — Architectural layouts, Fire protection, HVAC equipment; Storage racks system. | en_US |
