Central bank report (2009) emphasis that about 23% of the Gross Domestic Product( GDP) is logistics cost in SriLanka, while global bench mark is 10%. Hence, Sri Lanka has failed to utilize 13% of the GDP due to inefficiencies andineffective logistics practices. Considering logistics, warehousing is one component which can add significant cost tothe supply chain .This paper is an attempt to document empirically the relation between factors affecting warehouseefficiency/effectiveness and the overall performance of the warehouse operation. It has studied three factors whichaffect efficiency and effectiveness of the warehouse operations in Sri Lanka with respect to Fast Moving ConsumerGoods( FMCG) industry. Such as, simplicity/complexity of the Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Productslotting techniques and layout planning of the warehouse. Findings indicate the expected significant correlationbetween factors affecting warehouse efficiency/effectiveness and the overall performance of the warehouse operation.The results of the research revealed that three factors which have studied, has positive impact to the performance ofeach warehouse operations. Research findings further revealed other related issues which has been affecting to theeffectiveness of the operation. Most of the warehouses do not understand the importance of adopting best practices ormay not be successfully implemented in order to increase the level of productivity. So that, this research has providedsome recommended practices to the local warehousing sector as well.
