Abstract
The invention concerns a method for organising the flow of goods for a stock consisting of heterogeneous units arranged closely on top of and beside one another in stacked standardised parallelepiped-shaped containers (1) which are joined into several co-ordinate-forming layers of containers in a vertical framework (6). With one or more computer-controlled lifting devices (5) with a gripping device (3) each individual container is lifted mechanically up and out of the stack for manual replenishment or a manual packing station (7). After dispatch the container (1) is returned to a new random, but continuously known position. The random and continuous alteration of location compels the statistically most frequently sold goods to be located in containers which have recently been returned to the upper layer of the stack, while those goods which statistically are seldom sold over a period of time will be located in containers in the lower layers of the stack.
