CHAPTER 10
Warehousing
![Page 20: CHAPTER 9 Decision Strategies in Transportation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c06550346895db90487/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Objectives
• Why is warehousing important - 2-5% of sales
• Types of warehouses
• functions
• why have warehouses in a JIT economy?
• Is there a difference between a Distribution Center and a Warehouse?
![Page 21: CHAPTER 9 Decision Strategies in Transportation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c06550346895db90487/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Warehousing Management
• Warehousing emphasizes storage of products.• Distribution centers emphasize rapid movement of
products through the facility.• Throughput is the amount of product entering and
leaving a facility in a given time period.• Regrouping function
– Accumulating (increasing quantity)
– Allocating (reducing quantity)
– Assorting (building up a variety of products)
– Sorting (separating products into grades and qualities)
![Page 22: CHAPTER 9 Decision Strategies in Transportation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c06550346895db90487/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Uses of Warehousing
• Manufacturing support• Product - mixing• Consolidation• Breakbulk• Cross Docking• shorten customer wait times
and transportation lead times
![Page 23: CHAPTER 9 Decision Strategies in Transportation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c06550346895db90487/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Functions

Factors Influencing Warehousing in the Future
• Time - The best warehouse operations are those designed to reduce every aspect of order cycle time.
• Quality - Users now expect performance that approaches perfection.
• Asset productivity - Reduce total cost, reuse, and recycle.
• New kind of workforce - Requirements for both management and labor will change significantly.
