Warehouses may be used as central warehouses, regional warehouses, production warehouses, or distribution warehouses. Their purpose is the storage of goods, and they serve as a link between procurement and distribution. The way they are equipped is dependent on the range of functions they fulfil and on the logistics processes to be carried out on the property (see Sect. 8.3). In most cases, warehouses offer good delivery capabilities for a speedy transshipment of goods.
