Private and Public Warehouses
• Private warehouses are owned or leased by an
organisation as part of its own supply chains.
• The organisation runs its own warehouses to support
its main operations.
• This gives greater control over a central part of
logistics, and allows integration of warehousing with
the broader activities of logistics.
• The warehouse can be tailored to the organisation’s
needs, being in the right location, right size, fitting in
with customer service, and so on.
• Communications are easier with systems integrated
throughout the organisation.
