Reflection on ALB - Hui Hiang

We went Army Logistics Base (ALB) on 28 Nov 08

Before we proceed to see how the warehouse is been operated, we were given a briefing of the introduction such as “Material Management Services”, “Receipt Services”, “Storage Services”, “Storage”, and “Other Distribution Channels”.

From all of the introductions, my most deep impression is the of “Other Distribution Channels” it covers:

• Over Counter Issue (Urgent items & controlled equip)
• E-mart Outlets (6 fixed & 18 flexi)

• Internet (to place order)
• Overseas Shipment (pick, pack & send)
• Enlistees Equipping (requirement of the recruitment for soldiers are kept e.g: size of shoes)
• Mission Support (e.g: send the medical to the Sichuan, Earthquake)


We have the chance to view the stuffs of the soldiers carrying in the PAST & PRESENT.

Skeleton Battle Order (SBO) Load Bearing Vest (LBV)


In the past, the enlistees collected the items at Supply Base. Today, re-packed items deliver to enlistees at units (3 days before enlistment day).

We also see the different storage systems that installed at ALB such as Pallet ASRS, Very Narrow Aisle (VNA), Mobile Racking, Vertical Carousel System & Bin ASRS.
We experience to see how the Mobile Racking is been function, its safety has proven as 1 of our students entered while the rack is opening and it stops immediately.

  1. All most every retail industry use Pallet Rack to store huge warehouse storage items in multiple levels. It holds high storage density items that will benefit the business operations in short span of time. It plays a major role in retail industries.
