Answer 1

The following scheme uses group codes with alphabetic and numeric data since they can be used to categorize information in a hierarchical form.

 

Warehouse	Aisle	Left or right Side of Aisle	Shelf	Bin
1	C	L	5	08

 

Thus, code 1CL08 represents the above. 2AR415 represents inventory in warehouse #2, aisle A, right side of aisle, shelf 4, bin #15.
