What is warehousing logistics?
Logistics in warehousing refers to the flow of goods through your warehouse building. Typically that means recording the movement of your products from when they enter, to when they leave, and any additional steps required from your fulfillment process in between. It’s important for a business to have a good understanding of all the goods it has in its warehouse facility to drive new orders and deliveries. A properly planned logistics process will help with this.
What are the most important KPIs in warehousing?
The way you view your Warehousing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) will differ depending on your sector and operation. It's important to understand what’s important to the success of your business and set your KPIs accordingly. There are some general KPIs to keep an eye on though, such as:
What is green warehousing?
Green warehousing refers to the process of making changes to your warehousing operation in order to reduce its environmental impact. This could be through the reduction of energy consumption, using eco-friendly materials or machinery, developing sustainable practices, or optimising logistics. Businesses that implement greener warehousing strategies benefit from increased confidence from customers supporting greener values as well as potential savings in bottom-line costs.
What is lean warehousing?
Lean warehousing is the practice of limiting warehouse operations as much as possible and optimising for efficiency. This could be through resource and material consumption or more effective schedule planning. The idea is to keep output the same whilst reducing input to save time, costs, and energy consumption.
Is warehousing part of the supply chain?
Yes, it absolutely is, and a very important part of it. Your warehouse is typically the hub of your operations, where goods come in and out - it's vital to have good visibility of it.
How should you design a warehouse layout?
Warehouse layout design is a big topic and there are some important considerations such as its intended purpose, the volume of goods expected to come in and out, picking packing and shipping methods, the location of your warehouse, vehicle access requirements, storage requirements, and many other factors. Different businesses will require different layouts but all warehouses should be based on the efficient input and output of goods.
