2. Warehouse
A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters,wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns and villages. They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Stored goods can include any raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing and production.
2.1 Warehouse function
Historically warehouses were a dominant part of the urban landscape from the start of the Industrial Revolution through the 19th century and into the twentieth century. The buildings remained when their original usage had changed. There are four identifiable types of warehousesThe cotton industry rose with the development of the warehouse, and all five types were represented inManchester in the United Kingdom. Warehouses of that period in Manchester were often lavishly decorated, but modern warehouses are more functional
Warehouse allow transport optimization along the supply chain, and allow companies to work with an optimal inventory (economic order quantity) regarding service quality. For example, at the terminal point of a transport system it is necessary to stockpile produce until a full load can be transported. Warehouses can also be used to store the unloaded goods from the vessel.
In industries whose goods require a period of maturation between production and retail, such as viniculture and cheesemaking, warehouses can be used to store the goods in large quantities.
2.2 Packing Warehouse
The main purpose of packing warehouses was the picking, checking, labelling and packing of goods for export. The packing warehouses Asia House, India House and Velvet House along Whitworth Street were some of the tallest buildings of their time.
3. Warehouse Inventory Issues
Damaged inventory, inaccurate inventory counts and other inventory-related issues occur everywhere; from the small business that houses bicycle parts to the 1 million-square foot best-in-class facility with automated storage and retrieval systems. Identifying the root cause of these inventory issues becomes part of the process improvement plan to decrease or eliminate them altogether.
3.1 Inaccurate Quantities
Inaccuracy remains one of the biggest problems facing all warehouses. Inaccuracy takes shape in many forms, such as inaccurate quantities, inaccurate storage locations, inaccurate pricing and inaccurate identification. At some point in time, most companies experience an inaccurate quantity of one or more products in their warehouse. This happens very often with retail companies, especially big-box retailers that have millions of product stock-keeping units, or SKUs. Often, an inaccurate quantity of products stems from one of the other areas of inaccuracy. An item placed in the wrong location of a warehouse can get overlooked when searching for inventory. This leads to an inaccurate count of the inventoried item.
3.2 DAMAGE
Inventory typically gets handled multiple times in a warehouse. Each time it gets touched or moved it becomes susceptible to damage. Many companies try to recoup some of the financial lose of damaged inventory by selling it at substantial discounts to the public--think about those furniture liquidation centers that sell scratch and dent merchandise. Damaged inventory happens in numerous ways. If a company experiences an abundance of damaged inventory it should consider additional employee training along with conducting a root-cause analysis to determine the origin of the problem.
3.3 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
Warehousing inventory issues occur when inventory arrives with incorrect labels, barcodes, product SKUs or packaging. For example, an orange plastic cup has an SKU of ABC123 while a blue plastic cup has an SKU of DEF456. Both cups are packaged 100 units per carton. The outside of each carton includes the product’s SKU and description plus a barcode for scanning the product into the inventory software. Upon arrival, the warehouse scans the barcode on the cartons marked orange plastic cups, but the manufacturer inadvertently placed the blue plastic cup’s barcode on the cartons. The warehouse personnel accept the barcode scan without verifying the box contents. This act creates an immediate inventory discrepancy.
