 SUMMARY

Warehouse operation is a critical part of the overall distribution system in the construction process of any
infrastructure works and represents a point of separation between aspects of supply and demand for any
business. Traditionally, the physical nature of the operation has emphasized its intensive level of work,
requiring a high level of management and control by man. The rapid growth of technological support has
provided an opportunity to achieve greater effectiveness and efficiency. This technological support goes
from the introduction of improved handling and storage equipment to the use of computerized control
systems. As with the other elements of the distribution function, such as transportation and inventory
management; the store will concern two main objectives: cost and service. Being:

The main objective of this book, identify processes, standards and conditions of a good store of work and
its proper functioning, highlighting its content aspects should be considered for its location, reception and
distribution of materials, responsibilities storekeeper, among other functions and important aspects to be
fulfilled for proper operation.
 0. INTRODUCTION

Construction activity is the process that involves the use of human resources and machinery for the
processing of materials in engineering and architecture. The successful execution of a construction project
requires that all resources are managed effectively, but especially the materials, equipment and tools as
they constitute the most, both in quality and cost of resources used, becoming one of the most important
resources and therefore the engine of any project.

Management of materials, equipment and tools basically revolves around the following phases: planning,
management, procurement, receipt, storage, use, payment and control. This diversity of processes and
class of goods makes managing them is a complex process, so it is important to understand it.

This work is focused on running stores work to expand knowledge on this important physical space, whose
role is crucial to the success of the project or construction work.

 1. OBJECTIVES

1.1. OVERALL OBJECTIVE

Identify processes, standards and conditions of a good store of work and its proper operation

1.2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

 Define warehouse work and its history

 Specify optimal conditions for work store location

 Mentioning recommendations on the distribution and warehouse group

 Describe the responsibilities of storekeeper

 Explain the methodology of operation of warehouse work

 Consult the technical standards for which storage is governed work.

 2. WAREHOUSE WORK

2.1. WHAT IS A WAREHOUSE WORK

Book stores are sites or places to conserve, save, protect, preserve and ship all kinds of materials, tools
and / or equipment necessary to carry out the different activities proposed in a play.

Stores the raw materials kept cover fire, theft and damage, as well as inform the purchasing department
on the actual stocks of raw materials according to control inputs and outputs thereof.

2.2. HISTORY OF WAREHOUSE

It will not have much information, but is taken as an example the Inca Empire, who created the Colcas or
qollqas, which were physical spaces that served the function of barns and warehouses, which were built
in a peculiar way, located in stages in hillsides. These reservoirs used to store excess production, such
as maize, cereals, dried potatoes or potato starch, quinoa, salted meat or chalona.

The building of these places was quite elaborate, since the colcas should have a good ventilation system,
plus an excellent drainage system. Each Inca people had their own colcas, which were strategically placed
in areas to obtain the highest possible air circulation, in order to keep food fresh.

Although the mid-nineteenth century the first stores were based almost entirely on the strength of
personnel for storage and movement of products, the first major change was introduced regarding the
huge participation of labor, was the creation of unit loads based on the concept of pallet (pallet is a platform
usually wooden, which allows the grouping of goods on it, forming a unit load.)

In the decades of the fifties and sixties, with the rise in prices they appeared several mechanical systems
to further reduce the use of labor and improve circulation of products within the products inside the
warehouse.

2.3. SELECTING THE LOCATION WAREHOUSE

At the time of selecting the location of the warehouse in the work should take into account the following
recommendations:

 area required: Should allow operations to be carried out in the warehouse, are made in
good physical area, not to encounter problems due to lack of space. It is determined based
on the amount and volume of materials, tools and equipment intended for purchase,
including projections for future expansion.

 Security: The physical space must meet conditions to prevent the deterioration caused by
atmospheric agents and to preserve human integrity actions of third parties (theft) and
natural disasters (floods).

6
  Reception Facility: Contemplate noninterference with other activities that executes the
work; there must be access routes for people and vehicles so that suppliers deliver without
difficulties materials, tools and equipment.

 Characteristics of materials: Depending on the nature of the materials, tools and

equipment must take into account the danger that may or may not lead to staff working in
the warehouse and the community; example: toxic chemicals, etc.

 Delivery time and supply center: Consider the distance that the draft work in progress and
needs provision is; example, when the attentions of orders had to carry the same day, the
store would be located in the same building site; If these were to be addressed the next day
or the next day, the location may be outside the perimeter of the place where the work is.

 Roads: The store will be located in places where there is fluid transportation services for the
transport of goods and materials.

 economic capacity of the work: In order to plan the warehouse equipment.

2.4. MANNING WAREHOUSE

The materials can be stored on shelves, lockers, magazine, among others, which are made with ordinary
wood and veneered against, however, steel shelves are also common.

Image 1. Steel shelf

2.5. DISTRIBUTION AND WAREHOUSE AGRUPACION

Distribution and warehouse group should take into account inter alia the following recommendations:

 Materials more moves are located near the exit.

7
  High spaces are used to store the lighter products.
 Flammable and hazardous materials can be in an auxiliary warehouse.
 Materials should be grouped by their nature, risk, packaging or presentation, by size, length
and weight.

2.6. RESPONSIBILITIES ALMACENISTA

The person responsible for warehouse management, is the warehouseman or storeman, functions that he
must fulfill are as follows:

1. To receive, verify and ship materials, equipment, tools and subscribe compliance on the entry of these
goods to the warehouse, checking the quality of them, according to the technical specifications, according
to terms of reference with knowledge of the resident and supervision working.

2. Check the entry and exit of machinery and equipment, and track the life of them.

3. Consolidate the provision of services from providers in a database, to facilitate the process.

4. Check the supply of work and daily stock, keeping up the KARDEX or software to keep track of
materials, to issue timely material balance.

5. Ensuring the safety and maintenance of the premises and warehouse equipment.

6. Perform distribution of goods in accordance with the established program.

7. Issue reports of movement of goods in the warehouse (inputs and outputs of material, equipment and
tools), recording the output vouchers.

8. Check coding and registration of goods entering the warehouse.

9. The storekeeper is civilly and criminally responsible for the physical store inventory work during the
execution of the work.

10. Perform physical inventories in accordance with company policies in order to verify the physical stock
and the corresponding stocks.

2.7. WAREHOUSE OPERATION

In operation of the warehouse two processes, storage and distribution are distinguished.

In the storage process comprising: receiving, verification and quality control, placement, registration and
control, custody and storage.

8
 2.7.1. RECEPTION

It consists of the sequence of operations carried out from the time when the goods (materials, equipment
and tools) have come to the local store and ends with their location in the place designated to carry out
the verification and quality control .

The reception is made keeping in view documents Purchase Order and waybill. Operations concerning
receipt shall be implemented as follows:

1. Examine in the presence of the person responsible for delivery: records, stamps, envelopes, packaging,
etc., to report any abnormality.

5. The stacked and stored materials must be clearly identified and labeled properly. Labels include
precautions against danger, if there is a need.

On the other hand, in the operation of the warehouse it is the distribution process comprises: the
formulation of the order, the authorization of the office, packaging materials, material control and delivery
of materials.

11
 2.7.6. FORMULATION ORDER

Orders are formulated based on needs the respective boxes properly reconciled with the financial
possibilities of the work and availability of goods in stock, and with the approval of the Resident Engineer

 2.8. WAREHOUSE Phys.Inventory

It is a form of physical verification is verifying the existence or actual presence of the stored goods,
appreciate their condition or deterioration and safety.

Image 6. physical verification

Should take into account the following aspects on the subject of inventories:

 Leftover Inventory If surplus

property is set in the verification
process will proceed as follows:

a) determine its origin, mainly from the following

causes:

b) Real delivered amount less authorized in the

respective Output Proof.

Image 7. Excess inventory.

 Warehouse missing In the event that as a result of reconciliation between stock records
and physical inventory conducted missing goods are determined, attendees will act as
follows:

a) Missing robbery or theft organize a record of the investigations carried out accompanied by the
corresponding police report.

b) Missing by shrinkage case of real, solid or liquid, which by their nature volatilize, is always accepted as
it is within the tolerance established in the respective technical standard.

c) Missing negligence. The storekeeper or servers in charge of the custody are responsible for both
pecuniary loss and administratively.

13
 Image 8. Missing inventory theft.

 Low of goods Warehouse work: It will be dropped to goods as a result of General Physical
Inventory are considered for such a process, as in the following cases:

a) the damaged consumables that are in a complete state of worthlessness;

b) The decline in the stock produced by effect volatilization.

c) assets lost by theft or robbery

 Restocking It comprises a set of actions technical and administrative inherent in the storage
function, which is intended to maintain continuity of supply, replacing distributed stocks, so
that they are available anytime and ensure nature so reach users convenient opportunity.
the variables used are:

1. Maximum level of stock: Amount of each type of asset that is estimated is sufficient to meet under
normal conditions and for a specified period, the needs of the work in progress.

2. Minimum or security Stock: Quantity of each type of asset that is required for the continued supply
during the time it takes the process of restocking.

3. Point of order: It is the ideal place to initiate actions to restocking to avoid total consumption minimum
stock or security time.

 Registration and Inventory Control. It consists of a system of records and reports in which
data on inflows and outflows of goods from local warehouse and amounts available for
distribution is entered. According to the possibilities of each work, records and reports are
prepared in manually or by automatic data processing; In the first case cards and forms it
will be used and in the second case the same design will be used.

2.9. applicable regulations

Storage timber

 For the storage timber should be made firmly and in flat layers.
 When the height exceeds 1.20 meters high, it should be split with crossed planks.
 When wood removal must be done to ensure the stability of arrumes.
 arrumar should never be damp wood and have to remove the nails, splinters and embedded
objects.
 Storage areas must have roofs that protect them from inclement weather.

Storage materials in bags

 The timbering should be done considering that the height can not exceed ten (10) packages
tall and before the arrume should have pallets and ensure that the floor where arruma does
have adequate strength for it.
 The four sacks ends have to be placed in two different pallets crossed to the height of the
fifth sack, where you have to reduce a sack for every five. The fifth sack on, cross dunnage
is only required.

17
  Whenever bags are stowed mouth of them should be placed toward the center.
 Quicklime storage must be carried out in dry, when exposed to moisture reacts by producing
slaked lime, which can cause injury to personnel manipulates.

Storage bricks and tiles

 By storing bricks they must be protected from rain and moisture.
 If possible, limit the height of the stacks of tiles at 1.80 meters.
 The tiles should be stowed vertically. This will drain moisture and easier to handle.

Reinforcing steel storage

 The reinforcing steel, must be stored in separate stacks according to their diameter
and length. Wooden stakes are safer to separate batteries that pieces of steel rod.
Storage pipe
 They must be stored in frames constructed for this and must be shimmed to prevent
roll.
 When removing pipe, the pipe end of the stack will be taken whenever possible.

Storage of explosives
 It must be stored separately, on the one hand, the explosive part and the other, the
ignition means, in a structure solidly built fireproof and bullets, end owed with good
ventilation and lighting, in a place away from housing and roads.
 Doors must be made of iron with safety locks, no windows.
 The minimum distance polvorines location will be one hundred (100) meters of
buildings and constructions, taking into account the rules laid down by the military
industry.
 The shoes used by staff should not have carramplones or any other metallic
element that can generate sparks. Polvorines is prohibited in store wire rope,
pieces of rails, metal tools, scrap metal or metallic items that may cause explosions
on impact or friction explosives. Furthermore, different explosives, among which
should be highlighted paints, wood, waste, cardboard or any other material
element.
 It should signal the site used as a powder magazin e, in not less than ten meters
radius, keeping clear of objects, herbs and garbage.
 smoking in magazines or storage of explosives is prohibited.
 All tools used must be non-sparking.
 Electrical installations and lighting must be non -sparking and switches located on
the outside of the magazine.
 Height storage of explosives must not exceed 1.60 meters and should be located
upwards, following the indication on them demarcated.

Fire fighting equipment

 It must provide adequate fire extinguisher equipment in storage locations.

Storage and handling of flammable liquids

 These probably cause more explosions than all other causes combined. You should
take great care when storing and handling gasoline flammable liquids and other, to
prevent evaporate and the vapors are mixed with air. Large quantities of flammable liquids
should be stored in underground tanks.
 Flammable liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, acetone and paint thinners, should be
poured from one container to another outdoors or in a well ventilated area. Many
fires and explosions occur when these liquids being poured in enclosed premises
without ventilation, the vapors are released and inflamed.

18
  Vapors from gasoline, butane and many other inflammable liquids, being heavier
than air stays near the ground, will go toward the lowest places if no sufciente
ventilation to remove them.

Works with paintings

Buildings, premises, containers, cabinets and others where paints, pigments and extenders must be
stored:

 Construction be no flame retardant (fire resistance).

 Staying well ventilated so that concentrations of gases and vapors are below the permissible
maximum and without risk of explosion or fire.
 Be protected from direct sunlight and sources of radiant heat.
 Having extinguishing system suitable class.
 Watertight or flameproof have electrical installations, according to risk.

Cargo handling

These other recommendations are also necessary:

 If the object to be transported is to be carried on the shoulders it is best to pick it up off the
floor and download it on a table or top surface.
 For transporting pipes, planks, tables and long objects this should be done with the front tip
down, paying close attention not to hit people and structures.
 Mobilization of objects in group must choose the staff about the same height, having a leader
who gives orders and load on the same shoulder.
 When the weight or volume of the load should excessive use mechanical means to do so.
 When you are unloading trucks, for any reason operators can be placed between the back
of the vehicle and the platform download
 When environmental conditions of the workers exposed to extreme temperatures,
chemicals, materials with sharp edges, or substances which could cause injury, be supplied
items selected according to protection risks.
 The maximum load that a worker may lift taking into account their physical fitness, knowledge
and experience is 25 kilos and for women 12.5 kilos compact load.
 Must be set to pause in raising workers who perform this work consistently.
 For handling drums, cylinders, barrels, etc., the workers will be provided with suitable gloves.
To shoot these elements they must be seized by the notches in order to prevent injuries to
fingers or palms.
 They should not store materials in demarcated sites and charges for fire extinguishers,
hydrants and emergency exits, among others.
 Should be banned people with disorders of vision, hearing, heart, epileptic or suffering from
psychic disorders, operate any crane or winch.

 3. CONCLUSIONS

 There are conditions that must be taken into account to select the store location as required
and appropriate area, that has safety and ease of reception.

 The storekeeper must be a properly trained, organized and responsible person and you
should look not only to the receipt and dispatch of materials but also for equipment,
machinery and tools available to work.

 Proper inventory can avoid delays in scheduling work having everything you need this for
your daily activities.

 Follow the regulations is critical for both the warehouse and care of the people who operate
and work in this, avoiding incidents, accidents and fatalities.
