1. The principle of FIFO in the arrangement of goods guarantee goods stored in the warehouse is the latest goods. FIFO is the stuff that goes first tried to get out first (First In First Out).
2. Placement of goods piled up should be a lock to avoid the risk of goods falling and set the maximum number of stacking height so that packaging is not damaged goods (the principle of arranging placement in narrow spaces).
3. The number of counted piles to make it easier to check stock or stock taking of goods (change hospitalization more than a month to 3 working days with an accuracy that is accountable).
4. Ensure the correctness quantity of goods in packaging so as to accelerate the process of checking the goods before shipment.
5. Variations accumulation of different goods piling up to three items in order to reduce the amount of movement when the officer took the items needed (organizing principle in the narrow space).
6. Classification of goods based on the dimensions done in an effort to optimize the location of placement of goods in the warehouse.
7. Gang between the goods needed to facilitate the placement of officers in conducting identity checks and the number of items in the placement.
8. The principle of arranging for the ultimate goal, namely the speed and accuracy of service. The final goal is far more important because it concerns the warehouse performance in providing services to customers. Principle could neatly embodied by creating a place for everything so that everything can be put in place.
Pack Material Type and Characteristics
As a basis for discussion of this matter let us first examine the regulations on container and wrapper contained in Permentan No. 44 / Permentan / OT.140 / 10/2009 as follows. Containers and packaging used in post-harvest handling should:
a. To protect and maintain the quality of its contents to outside influences.
b. Made from materials that do not release parts or elements that can be detrimental to health or affect the quality of the food.
c. Hold or changed during transport and distribution.
d. Prior to use cleaned and subjected to sanitary measures.
e. Containers and packaging materials are stored in a dry, ventilated and checked for cleanliness and infestations of pests before use.
Under the article, the materials used in the packaging process must be considered well as an important part of the packaging process. As has been described above that the packaging materials can be either natural or synthetic materials. Natural materials can be either banana leaves, corn Daung, various types of plant fibers woven and others. Synthetic packaging material can be plastic, paper, and others.
Both types of packaging materials in principle can be used either individually or together. The scope of the packaging field is now increasingly widespread, ranging from very varied materials to form and packaging technologies are increasingly attractive. Packaging material used varies from materials of paper, plastic, wood, metal, fiber to laminated materials.
Form and packaging technologies also vary from the packing cube, pyramid, tetrapak, corrugated boxes, packing tube until the active packaging and smart (active and intelligent packaging) which can adjust the environmental conditions inside the packaging with the needs of the packaged product. Product in a plastic bag, wrapped in banana leaves, now has grown up in the form of the bottle and packaging is gorgeous.
