1- Concept of warehouse, storage:
A warehouse is a facility, together with storage racks, handling equipment, and personnel and management resources, that allows people to control the difference between incoming goods flow (received from suppliers, manufacturing centers, etc.) and outgoing goods flow (goods sent to production, sales, etc.). Typically, these streams are not coordinated efficiently, and this is one of the reasons why it is important to have a storage device.
2-Types of warehouses:
A company’s manufacturing business requires one or more types of storage equipment: one for raw materials, one for semi-finished products, one for finished products, etc… All of these must be arranged on the basis of specific operational needs, appropriate to each location and surrounding environment.
The best way to classify warehouses is by common warehouse features:
- 2-1. According to the nature of the product: Warehouse specializing in rolls, long goods, goods on pallets, flammable products, documents, small materials, spare parts and perishables, mixed warehouses storing different types of products.
- 2-2. According to the storage capacity of the warehouse: Warehouse areas can be classified as outdoor warehouses, industrial buildings, basements, container warehouses, cold storage, warehouses with rack frames (racks are part of the construction system of the warehouse frame), etc.
- 2-3. According to the flow of raw materials and products: Warehouses for storing raw materials used for raw materials, components or semi-finished products, finished products, intermediate warehouses, for warehousing, distribution, etc.
- 2-4. By warehouse location: Warehouse can be in supermarket, library, factory, temporary warehouse,….
- 2-5. By level of mechanization: Manual, conventional or automatic warehouse in storage, import and export.
3-Main tasks of the warehouse:
- 1. Receiving goods.
- 2. Check and classify goods by quality, quantity and specifications.
- 3. Transportation within the warehouse (between different parts of the warehouse).
- 4. Stack shelves, store and keep goods safe.
- 5. Prepare orders for shipping.
- 6. General management and handling of warehouse accounting and warehouse keeping tasks such as checking goods, storage, etc.
4-Basic elements of a warehouse:
- Products are stored.
- Flow of materials or goods.
- Space is available to accommodate them.
- Storage equipment such as shelves and handling equipment
- Human factor (personnel)
- Company management system and policies.
5-Departments, areas in a warehouse: The most basic warehouses usually have doors, open areas for maneuvering and verification, areas where goods are stored, management offices to control operations, toilets and changing rooms for employees.
Starting with the most basic configuration, additional areas can be added such as receiving, packing and consolidation, dispatch, forklift charging, and loading dock doors.
Additionally, the areas in the warehouse can be divided as follows:
- Office area, customer service.
- Import and export port area.
- Reception and inspection area.
- High traffic areas or oversized products.
- Oversized, specialty product area.
- Average traffic area
- Low traffic area.
- High value products area.
- Packing and consolidation area.
The space allocated for each area must be appropriate to the desired size, capacity, activities to be performed, personnel and resources required, product flow and future growth potential.
