The principal purpose of a well-designed and adequately
maintained warehouse is to ensure that the
receipt, protection and dispatch of goods are carried
out as efficiently as possible. To achieve this goal, the
important requirements do not only include factors
such as location near the final customer, ease of
transport, flexible storage spaces and proper sizing
of the warehouse. It is also vital to guarantee the
safety of the stored goods and in doing so, of the
warehouse itself.
