Purpose of Warehousing
Supply & Demand A Warehouse is NOT simply a location where things are kept. The warehouse is an active place where materials are received, housed in a logical fashion and are distributed according to the needs that they will serve.

Storage 1 of 3 things happens to materials that arrive at the warehouse door. Generally materials or items are brought in a warehouse and stored. Little is done to these materials except that they are “checked in” and sent to a prearranged storage location within the confines of the warehouse.

Just-In-Time The warehouse serves as a supplier of production efforts.
Materials needed for production are warehoused for only a short period of time when it is possible to schedule their arrival “just-in-time” for use by the production workers.

Backroom-to-shelf The backroom is the storage area
The shelf is the area where smaller lots of items are placed for use in an order-picking operation

Logical The key word in warehousing is the root term of the term logistics-”logical” The process must “make sense” and the processes involved in warehousing must be efficient and safe for all involved.

Postponement The materials may be stored in the warehouse and their movement out of the warehouse may be literally “postponed” as personnel are asked to “add value” to them prior to shipping them to their final destination.
