Anwari's.

HEY ALL!
This is blog facilitator Anwari bringing to you my personal experience on the ALB trip (sorry it took so long people).
Its purpose? To witness logistics operations first-hand.
Expected it to be plagued with armed officers and uniformed personnels, but there were onli regular middle-aged men.

Currently, ST logistics oversees the ALB's operations.
The trip kicked off with a talk which showcased the ALB's various storage-and-retrieval tech and distribution processes. More than any customer of a specialist logistics company, RSAF demands maximum land use and more importantly, efficient moving of good should the need arise.

Infrastructure-wise, The ALB stands at 20m to accomodate the High Racks and utililises a throughflow concept along with SKU items on standby situated near the loading bay. As the enlistment period was nearing, the loading area was piled with kit bags awaiting our young males.

Various storage systems were employed, such as the double deep pallet racking, vertical carousel, mobile racking system, and shelving systems for smaller item storages like medicinal supplies. The double deep pallet racks held higher throughput (shoes) and heavier items (tyres)at the lower end, conforming to textbook content. The vertical carousel on the 3rd storey was 10m and greatly diminished pilferage and damage by obscuring direct view of the product. Lastly, Mobile racks were operated through controllers.
Material Handling Equipments or MHE for short, such as the AGV and Pallet AS/RS were present. However we weren't lucky enough to catch them in action.

Well, moving on to the important stuffs!.....
I have to say the food was commendable. Don't get me wrong, I meant quantity-wise.
Complaints, complaints =D. How spoilt can TP LOM be?
Pluspoint: The chairs were comfy

Till then.
