Purpose of warehousing

The primary role of a warehouse and distribution center is to facilitate themovement of goods from suppliers to the customers and by doing sowhile meeting to customers demand and in a cost effective manner.

In order to achieve efficiency in supply chain, stocks have to be kept, butthis is not the main role of a warehouse. Stocks may be hold forcontingencies, or to enable rapid customer service, or in preparation for anew product launch. But in the most basic purpose of a warehouse, it is

the transshipment area from where all the goods received are dispatchedas effectively and efficiently as possible.

The basic function of warehouse is to provide storage facility. By

ensuring storing, it provides time utility for the products. It strikes a judicious balance between the forces like demand and

supply and thereby helps in building stabilized price for theproduct. [E.G. Buffer stock by Government].

Warehouse facilitates borrowing from banks and other financialinstitutions. The goods lying in the warehouse serve as securityfor short-term loan.

It is helpful in stabilizing the prices of the product because italways tries to equate demand with supply.

It provides protection to goods against fire, insects, pilferageand thefts. It helps in keeping goods away from sun, rain anddust and thereby it saves goods from deterioration.

Functions of Warehouse

Reasons for holding stock include the following.

As a buffer/consolidation point between two productionprocesses

To cover demand during suppliers' lead-time

To enable savings to be made through bulk purchases ordiscounts

To cope with seasonal fluctuations

To provide a variety of product in a centralized location

The build up/holding of anticipation stocks (for example,before a new product launch)f

The build-up and holding of investment stocks

received & filled.

Equipments used in Warehouse

Pallet Truck

Our pallet jacks quickly transport pallets from one location to another withease. Once under a pallet, the pallet is lifted off the ground for easytransportation. These are always used and seen in warehouses, grocerystores, and other locations.


17/22

Forklift:A forklift is a powered piece of equipment designed to lift andtransport material in an industrial setting.

Gravity conveyors:Gravity conveyors use a series of roller wheels and bearings to quickly moveboxes and other products from one location to another.

Warehouse Management System

WMS, is a key part of the supply chain and primarily aims to control themovement and storage of materials within a warehouse and process theassociated transactions, including shipping, receiving, putaway andpicking.

Warehouse management systems often utilize .....Auto ID Data Capture(AIDC) technology, such as barcode scanners, mobilecomputers, wireless LANs and potentially Radio-frequency identification(RFID) to efficiently monitor the flow of products

Objective of a warehouse management system is to provide a set ofcomputerized procedures to handle the receipt of stock and returns intoa warehouse facility, model and manage the logical representation of thephysical storage facilities (e.g. racking etc.)


19/22

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

How RFID Works

Basically, RFID is a means of uniquely identifying an object through

wireless radio frequency identification. The identification is done by a

device called the reader receiving data in form of radio frequency with itsown unique identification code from a device called a tag. This method

may require no direct line of sight for transaction to occur. The tag will

broadcast the signal which is then received by the reader and the signal is

then transferred to a computer. The computer then simply record thereading or to look up in its database to direct further action, or to add on

additional information to the tag.


20/22

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchangeof structured information, by agreed message standards, from onecomputer application to another by electronic means and with a minimum

of human intervention. In common usage, EDI is understood to meanspecific interchange methods agreed upon by national or internationalstandards bodies for the transfer of business transaction data, with onetypical application being the automated purchase of goods and services.

Voice-directed warehousing

Voice-directed warehousing (VDW) refers to the use of the voicedirection and speech recognition software in warehouses and distributioncenters. VDW has been in use since the late 1990s, and its use is expectedto increase rapidly over the next five years due to advances in technologyand decreasing costs for the voice directed software and for the mobilecomputers on which it runs.

In a voice directed warehouse, workers wear a headset connected to asmall wearable computer, similar in size to a Sony Walkman, which tellsthe worker where to go and what to do using verbal prompts. Workersconfirm their tasks by speaking pre-defined commands and readingconfirmation codes printed on locations or products throughout thewarehouse. The speech recognition software running on the wearablecomputer 'understands' the workers' responses
