OBS210Chapter 8: Warehouse Management
Defining warehouse
Any system for storing items at any point in the logistics chain, from the point of origin
(raw material warehouse) to the point of consumption (work-in-process or production
warehouse) (finished goods warehouse or distribution centre).
Although a DC maintains inventory at the downstream end of the supply chain, the terms
warehouse and distribution centre (DC) are interchangeable.
Warehouses refer to places where raw materials, work-in-process goods and finished
goods are stored.
Role of warehousing
From inbound raw materials warehousing to outbound finished goods warehousing
post-production, and any forward warehousing activities closer to the customer's final
point of consumption - whether performed by network depots or large distribution
centres - warehousing plays an important role in the supply chain.
Type of warehouses
1. Inbound warehouse- goods coming from suppliers are stored before manufacturing
2. Outbound warehouse- goods coming from manufacturing plant en route to customers
Megan Meiring
, 3. A distribution centre- goods coming from various manufacturers are stored and routed
to retailers

8. To accomplish least total cost logistics
9. To service the needs of a firm more effectively

11. To keep a steady flow of supply of the product
12. To enable efficient "last mile" logistics
13. To help provide a level of customer satisfaction and service
14. To help close the “time and space” gap
15. To serve as a link between the supplier and the producer
16. To serve as an integral part of every logistics system
