FUURAA thesis
Moving storage reduces walking only when inventory accuracy, station balance and replenishment hold together.
Engineering map
Turn the title into engineering objects that can be observed, measured and reviewed.
Each layer states the boundary to establish and the evidence needed for the next decision.
Station
Balance presentation, pick confirmation and queueing.
Replenishment
Prevent starvation, misplacement and unsafe access.
Verification questions
Write the questions first, then decide whether a demo, test, pilot or operating record can answer them.
Each question needs an object, conditions, denominator, threshold and accountable decision owner.
- 01
How often is the requested inventory absent?
- 02
What sets station capacity?
- 03
How are pick errors detected?
- 04
Can replenishment proceed safely at peak?
Evidence to preserve
Enable the next reader to reconstruct conditions, results, failures and the decision.
A conclusion alone loses reviewability; raw records, configuration and exclusions matter too.
- 01
Evidence package 1
Complete workflow protocol
- 02
Evidence package 2
Inventory, queue and pick-quality data
- 03
Evidence package 3
Replenishment exception record
Scope boundary
State what this evidence still cannot be generalised to.
- 01
Pod-delivery rate cannot establish completed-order throughput or ergonomic benefit.
- 02
This is an engineering reading and decision framework; it does not replace application-specific risk assessment, conformity work, procurement acceptance or professional advice.
