摘要

The final project entitled “Racking Selection for the Cold Storage of PT. Bernofarm” began with the problem existing in company’s cold storage. The main problem of the cold storage is the lack of capacity which requires new racking and handling method to store all the goods on demand. The new layout with new system is targeted by the company to store 600 pallets. On the other hand, the company also needs a good low investment of money for the new proposed system. This final project begins with taking data required from the company such as company profile, building size and location, and the number of moving goods.ududSome racking alternatives are then compared and evaluated to fit the cold storage after getting the maximum number of goods stored in a day. Three best alternatives suitable for the company’s current needs are evaluated based on the layout and the calculation of cost needed to install each of the alternatives, furthermore one best racking suitable for the cold storage is chosen to maximize the capacity of the cold storage with a minimum cost to invest. The chosen racking is drive-in rack with capacity of 756 pallets. The investment of this racking is also the lowest from all other alternative with cost of US$10,135.45.
