4. Each warehouse flow has five main components it houses:
1.Dynamic storage holds all inventory that doesn’t have a fixed warehouse location. Items contained here
are usually ones with high demand that need to be available closer to the packing areas. Because supply
and demand is ever-changing, so are the contents of dynamic storage.
2.Static storage holds all inventory products that have a specific location within the warehouse. This
storage area has a definitive organization method and items within it are rarely moved around. Items are
usually organized on racking systems to stack and fit materials in the warehouse storage space provided.
3.The staging area is used to address any incoming or outgoing packages. Before a package is shipped,
staging is used to pack those materials and prepare them to be picked up from the warehouse. When a
package is received, staging is used to unbox the items and determine where they should be placed within
the warehouse inventory system.
4.The shipping area takes completed order packages and loads them onto shipping trucks to be delivered
to customers or retailers.
5.The receiving area is where staff can unload incoming trucks, admit the items received, and record
packages as they arrive at the warehouse.

5. There are three main types of warehouse layout flows that companies use to
organize the way their warehouse operates: U-shaped, I-shaped, and L-
shaped.
• The U-shaped warehouse flow is the most common of the three. All components
are arranged in a semicircle with shipping and receiving on parallel sides and
storage in the middle.
• The I-shaped warehouse flow is favored by large corporations with bigger
warehouses. This is because larger companies typically experience higher
production volume and the I shape is valuable for its clear in and out workflow.
• The L-shaped warehouse flow is considered the least common of the flow types.
Its configuration is very unusual and is generally chosen to specifically
accommodate an L-shaped building.

10. WMS
Un WMS (Warehouse Management System) o sistema de administración de almacenes, es un
software que permite llevar un control inteligente y en tiempo real de la operación, incrementar
la velocidad de las transacciones y tener una amplia visibilidad de los movimientos en el
almacén o el CEDI. Dicho de otra manera, es una herramienta que soporta la gestión de
operaciones.
El objetivo de un WMS es proporcionar la información necesaria para controlar eficientemente
el movimiento de materiales dentro de un almacén o CEDI.

11. Los sistemas WMS pueden ser
aplicaciones independientes o
pueden estar integrados en un
sistema de Planificación de
Recursos Empresariales (ERP).
De manera que su puesta en
marcha requiere de un proceso
de ensamble, adaptación y
aplicación que podría tomar más
de un año.
