Warehousing

Warehousing refers to the process of storing and managing raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods in a warehouse or other storage facility. This includes the receipt, storage, movement and dispatch of these materials, as well as the management of inventory levels and the maintenance of the warehouse itself. Warehousing plays an important role in the manufacturing process by ensuring that materials, parts and components are readily available when they are needed, while keeping inventory levels in check and reducing waste. It also ensures that finished goods are safely stored and readily available for shipment to customers. Advanced warehouse management systems and software can be used to automate and optimize many of these activities and provides the needed visibility and control over the warehouse operations.
