Warehouse
• According to Logistics Bureau [1], Warehouse can be defined as
planned space for the efficient storage and handling of goods and
materials
• A warehouse is a dynamic operation and can deliver a more
profitable return on investment than many people realise.
• Only 26% of company managers view warehouses and distribution
centers as an asset which can drive growth for their business [2]
• 34% of businesses ship late because products are sold which are not
actually in stock [3]

A warehouse should be
viewed as a temporary
place to store inventory
and as a buffer in supply
chain
Warehouse in Industry 4.0
Galindo, L.D. (2016). The Challenges of Logistics 4.0 for the Supply Chain Management and the Information
Technology.
Warehouse ownership arrangements
• Private—warehouse operated by the firm owning the
product
• Building may be owned or leased
• Public—service company owns warehouse and hires out
space and services
• Usually classed as
• General merchandise
• Refrigerated
• Special commodity
• Household goods and furniture
Contract warehousing combines elements of
private and public operations
• Usually a long-term relationship or
contract between a firm and the
warehousing owner/operator
• Long-term cost savings compared with public
warehouse
• Often a firm’s employees will work
alongside the contract warehouse’s
• Example is Kraft Foods who has contracted
with AmeriCold Logistics since the late
1990’s
https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkas:Kraft_logo.svg
https://www.ramw.org/news/americold-keeps-your-drinks-cool-us-open-new-armstrong-stadium
Site selection is driven by
service availability and cost
factors
• Identify broad geography where an
active warehouse meets service,
economic and strategic requirements
• Selection and number of retail outlets
drives location of support warehouses
• Final selection should be preceded by
extensive analysis
https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/usa_map.htm
Network deployment is the combination of
private, public and contract facilities used by
a firm
• Network deployment strategy requires
answering two questions
• How many warehouses should be
established?
• Which warehouse ownership types should
be used in specific markets?
• For example, when warehouse
utilization is not full throughout the
year
• Use private or contract warehouse to cover
75 percent requirement
• Public facilities used to accommodate peak
demand

Warehouse Management Systems
• Warehouse management systems (WMS) integrate procedures and
software support to standardize storage and handling work
procedures
• WMS encourage best practices
• One main use of WMS is to coordinate order selection
• Discrete selection is when a specific customer’s order is selected and
prepared for shipment as a single work assignment
• Wave or batch selection is when orders are processed through zones of the
warehouse assigned to specific employees
Warehouse Planning Issues
• Inventory accuracy is typically maintained by annual physical counts
or counting portions of inventory on a planned basis
• Cycle counting is the audit of selected inventory on a cyclic schedule
• Audits are common to maintain safety, assure compliance to
regulations and help improve procedures
• Security issues involve protection from pilferage and damage
Safety and Maintenance Issues
• Accident prevention
• Comprehensive safety programs and training, accident investigation and
follow up
• Environmental protection
• Spill ( leak ) kits and spill plans
• Maintenance
• Scheduled maintenance of building, material handling equipment, and
collision damage prevention
Basic Warehouse Problems
1. Redundant Processes
• Handle a product several times
2. Poor Facility Layout
• Narrow aisles
• High-elevation situations
3. Seasonality in Demand
• Layout and picking
4. High Labor Costs
• 65% of the operating budgets of most
warehouses
5. Inaccurate Inventory
• Improper stock levels and buildups of
obsolete
Warehouse Manager’s Challenges
• Nearly 3,000 hours per year are lost in warehouses and DCs through
inefficient processes.
• 80 per cent of managers have been tasked with finding cost savings in
existing operations.
• On average managers have been tasked with finding nearly 20 per
cent cost savings across their organizations.
• The majority of managers suggested the following areas were most
inefficient:
✔Inventory control (53 %);
✔Picking (47 %);
✔Put-away and replenishment (45 %).

Warehouse Two Major Activities –
Handling and Storage
• Objective is to
• Efficiently receive inventory
• Store it as required
• Assemble it into complete orders
• Make a customer shipment
• Operations will therefore emphasize product flow
Warehouse decisions that determine
handling and storage efficiency
• Site Selection
• Design
• Product-Mix Analysis
• Expansion
• Materials Handling
• Safety and maintenance
• Layout
• Sizing
• Warehouse management system
• Accuracy and audit
• Security
Handling
• Handling must optimize movement continuity and
efficiency
• Receiving—Unloading the arriving vehicles
• In-Storage—moving goods for storage (transfer) or order
selection (picking)
• Shipping—verifying the order and loading the departing
vehicles
Storage
• Storage plans should make
product velocity a major factor
• Slotting determines specific
locations for the product based
on
• Velocity—how fast the goods move
• Weight—how heavy is the product
• Special Characteristics—how large or
small, does it require rack or bin
storage
https://airspeed.ph/blog/warehouse-storage-systems/
Two Classes of Storage
• Active Storage—storage for basic inventory replenishment
• Focuses on quick movement
• Includes flow-through or cross-dock distribution
• Extended Storage—storage for inventory held in excess of
period for normal replenishment
• E.g. seasonal, speculative, or even commodities
Pre-Receiving
Challenge:
To ensure that the supplier
presents the products to the
warehouse in the most
appropriate way.
Thinking Point:
• Size and type of cartons;
• Type of transit packaging – cardboard, plastic, totes, metal stillages,
• Roll cages, pallets;
• Palletized or non-palletized delivery of product;
• Size (length, width and height) and type of pallets
• Specific labelling such as product description, barcode and quantities;
• Position of label on carton and pallet;
• Carton quantities (inner and outer carton quantities, for example); and
• Mode of transport, delivery quantity and frequency of delivery
Receiving
The
correct
product
The right
condition
The right
time
The right
quantity
Receiving
Inspection
Inspections should be completed within a reasonable amount of time or
as specified in the purchase document
Time to
check Put-away
Inspection challenges:
• To decide whether they need to be checked before put-away
• Random check or 100% check
• Time consumed
• Technology used
Speed
Accuracy
Cross Docking
• Share resources
• Inspection time vs increasing
throughput rates
• System required
• Availability of receiving space RICHARDS, Gwynne. (2014). Warehouse Management : a complete guide to improving efficiency and
minimizing costs in the modern warehouse 3rd ed. Publishing Place: Kogan Page.
Put-away Process
• Tasks
