摘要：	From surgical kits to temperature-controlled vaccines to wheelchairs, Medline's facilities must handle a variety of products, while meeting the exacting demands of an industry where how a product is stored, picked and packed and delivered can impact the health of a patient. In its 1.4-million-square-foot facility outside of Chicago, Medline built a distribution center designed to meet those needs. Receiving. Inbound loads arrive in the shipping/receiving area (1) as parcel, less-than-truckload and full truckload shipments. Once product is unloaded in the facility, team members verify the received merchandise against a purchase order and scan the receipts into the warehouse management system (WMS). Material can be put away in the primary storage area (2) as a full pallet of one SKU; a mixed pallet representing multiple SKUs; and at the case level. The WMS generates an advance ship notice (ASN) for each SKU, and a license plate bar code for pallets and cases. A pallet with more than one SKU receives a special master license plate, which is a bar code that identifies all of the SKUs on that pallet for separation at storage.
