- A warehouse is a
commercial building for storage of goods.
- Warehouse is a
storage structure constructed for the protection of the quality
and quantity of the stored produce.
- Warehouses are
used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers,
transport businesses, customs, etc.
- They are usually
large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns.
- Sometimes
warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods
directly from railways, airports, or seaports.
- They often have
cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed
on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks.
- Traditional
warehousing has declined since the last decades of the 20th
century, with the gradual introduction of Just In Time (JIT)
techniques.
- Some of the most
common warehouse storage systems are: Pallet rack, Mezzanine,
Vertical Lift Modules, Horizontal Carousels, Vertical Carousels.
- There are two main
categories of warehouse profiling, customer order profiles and
item activity profiles.
- Order picking is
the most labor-intensive and costly activity in the warehouse.
- The order picking
cost can be saved by minimizing the travel distances through
allocation of most popular items near input/output point in the
warehouse and slotting related stock keeping units together.
- Warehousing can be
defined by three functions: receiving goods from a source;
storing goods until they are needed by a customer (internal or
external); retrieving the goods when requested.
- Warehousing
minimizes the effects of supply chain inefficiencies, improves
logistics accuracy and inventory management, and allows product
accumulation, consolidation, and customization.
- The cost of
warehousing should be commensurate with the contribution of
warehousing to overall logistics performance - typically between
2% and 5% of corporate revenue.
- In world-class
warehousing these costs are minimized while improving customer
service.
- One example of
this new technology is the gripper concept from KUKA.
- This gripper is
designed to handle significantly more than 90% of the product
range of a grocery warehouse.
- Advances in
information technology such as the proliferation of electronic
data interchange
(EDI) usage have contributed to the modernization of the
warehouse industry.
- Warehousing refers
to the activities involving storage of goods on a large-scale in
a systematic
and orderly manner and making them available conveniently when
needed.
- In other words,
warehousing means holding or preserving goods in huge quantities
from the time of their purchase or production till their actual
use or sale.
- Warehousing is one
of the important auxiliaries to trade. It creates time utility
by bridging the
time gap between production and consumption of goods.
- Warehouses provide
for safe custody of goods.
- Businessmen can
thus minimize the risks to goods from loss, damage, fire, theft
etc.
- Perishable
products can be preserved in cold storage.
- Also,the goods
kept in a warehouse are generally insured.
- A warehouse
provides facilities for processing, packing, blending, grading
etc, of the goods for the purpose of sale.
- The prospective
buyers can inspect the goods kept in a warehouse.
- Warehouses provide
a receipt to the owner of goods for the goods kept in the
warehouse.
- The owner can
borrow money against the security of goods by making an
endorsement on the warehouse receipt.
- By keeping the
imported goods in a bonded warehouse, a businessman can pay
customs duty in installments.
- Central
Warehousing Corporation operates 75 Custom Bonded Warehouses
with a total operated capacity of nearly 0.5 million Mts.
