Warehousing involves inventory management, barcoding, and material handling. Inventory management concerns specifying stock levels and placement, carrying costs, forecasting needs, and space. Barcoding uses symbols to automatically identify items and contains product information. Material handling is the movement, storage, and control of materials through the supply chain using manual and automated equipment like conveyors, cranes, and automated storage and retrieval systems.
