 5.1 Introduction

There is an efficient warehouse operation on the establishment of every

successful business brand. This is an area that can destroy your business
or help build customer loyalty for the brand. But getting it right is not
easy.
All things that are necessary to run a warehouse like a watch, this unit
includes everything - how they can be managed, the best picking and
packaging process and problems related to the shipment process.
 Warehouse management is the process of organizing and controlling
everything in our warehouses - and to ensure that all of these are in the
best possible way

The focus areas for measuring the warehouse management process are
the main areas:
I. Efficiency In simple words, the warehouse team will have to complete the
acquisition and study how long the warehouse will take to remove the new
delivered purchase order. It’s a good idea to record the exact time:
1. New stock is being distributed.
2. When it is ready to keep the stock away.
3. Then the stock has been thrown out again. You can then calculate the
differences between the time between each point and work the average for the
month - Allows you to see how the performance is performing in this area of
your warehouse operations.

II. Rate of returns Every order or sale refund received cannot be due
to issues related to the warehouse. Therefore it is necessary to
categorize the reasons for the return. In this way, the warehouse or
operation manager can have high activity and start exploring the
reason for making policies to resolve.
 III. Picking accuracy You can analyze picking accuracy by choosing the
Real Return Rate - Part of the data. To calculate the accuracy of the
selection, use your total number of data over the rate of return

IV Order lead time Order lead time (or order processing time) specifies that
how long it takes for the customer to order. You might want to divide it into
different categories. But generally, the low warehouse is a lead time, which
your customers will be happy with - as long as it is delivered in the right
conditions.
5.3 LOGISTICS IN WAREHOUSE

Careful planning of materials must be planned in the warehouse. Physical

handling equipment and travel time of any owner in the warehouse are the
import components of the total functionality and productivity of any
warehouse.
Systematic handling should be analyzed to reduce the travel under
material in the warehouse and to ensure speed or recovery and recovery.
 1. External integration.: The movement of incoming and outgoing material is
studied. This phase is related to inbound and outbound logistics.

2. Overall handling Plan: Full content handling is considered. This includes the
transportation interval of materials from one place to another and used for
transportation purposes. In this phase, decisions should be taken based on the
basic needs of physical

3. Detailed Handling Plan: Content handling and traffic intervals in specific

areas are analyzed

4. Installation: No plans are applied till completion. After the plan is completed,
necessary steps are taken, such as physical handling facilities, buying equipment,
etc.
5.4 Locating Materials in a Warehouse

Location Number In a small factory, where there is a small store, the

warehouse valve will usually be remembered by the location of the
physical location, but in large industrial units where the storekeeper
cannot ban the bank in its memory where thousands of items are handled.
To assist the storekeeper at the store facility, there is some kind of system
of content needed.
The location number of the item is the essential location in the store
where the necessary material can be found. The right place for the item:
i) It facilitates receipt and issue of stock.
ii) It helps to know where everything is kept. This avoids the need to remember. In
any case, it is impossible to remember in thousands of items stored in the store.

iii) Reduces the likelihood of an item’s wrong issue.

iv) It improves home maintenance and gives a streamlined and streamlined look at
the store.

v) It reduces the likelihood of coming to the wrong place of the item.

vi) It makes the work of physical stock easy and efficient.

5.5 IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
AND PRODUCTS IN WAREHOUSES

Receive and Manage New Stocks Receiving, unpacking,

removing and receiving book an important part of warehouse
management is capable of taking books as efficiently as possible.
The faster it will be, the stock will be available for sale as soon
as possible. And, after the error or inefficiency of this process,
the entire supply chain exits from the rest of the series.

Receive via Digital Mobile Scanner It is worth noting that mobile scanner
devices can make it faster and more accurate in the entire booking process.
Instead of having to sit on a computer and find and update each product
individually, you can: 1. Scan the product or purchase order 2. Update list
levels on mobile screens 3. Keep it away in the warehouse - make it a simpler
and faster process
 Keep at the right place Temporary home in your acquired area,
without the risk of loss in the newly delivered stock, and people
must have enough space to do their due.

Record everything It’s a good idea to record specific details to

return if there is any problem - e.g. The exact time is drawn when
new stock arrives.

Have workers appointed New stock must be handled as soon as

possible - not left to prepare. Give people clear roles and
responsibilities. Put away Physically add any necessary labeling or
barcodes before storing the stock in its respective warehouse space.
Check carefully Dedicate some time and resources to ensure that all new
deliveries are accurate in numbers and are harmless. It also has the
opportunity to identify any vendor, inbound shipping or packaging
problem.

Update inventory list Make sure all stock layers are updated correctly on each
sales channel or list management system - that means it’s ready and ready for
purchase.

5.7 PROBLEMS AND ISSUES IN SHIPMENT
PROCESSES

Shipment processes involve the movement of goods from the point of

origin to the final destination. Various problems and issues can arise
during this complex process, impacting efficiency, cost, and customer
satisfaction. Here are some common problems and issues in shipment
processes:
Delays in Transit:
• Traffic and Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions and heavy
traffic can lead to delays in transportation.
• Customs Clearance: Delays in customs clearance processes, especially in
international shipments, can cause significant delays.

Documentation Errors:
• Incorrect or Incomplete Paperwork: Mistakes in shipping documents, such
as incorrect addresses, missing information, or inaccurate customs
documentation, can lead to delays and additional costs.

Communication Breakdowns:
• Poor Communication with Stakeholders: Ineffective communication
between shippers, carriers, and receivers can result in misunderstandings,
delays, and disruptions.
Supply Chain Disruptions:
• Supplier Issues: Problems with suppliers, such as delays in
providing raw materials, can affect the entire supply chain and
shipment schedules.

Inventory Management:
• Stockouts or Overstock: Inaccurate inventory management can lead
to stockouts or overstock situations, impacting the ability to fulfill
orders efficiently.

Damage or Loss of Goods:

• Inadequate Packaging: Poor packaging can result in damage during
transit, leading to additional costs and customer dissatisfaction.
• Theft or Pilferage: Security issues may result in theft or loss of goods during
transportation.
Transportation Costs:
• Fluctuating Fuel Prices: Fuel price volatility can impact transportation costs
and overall shipping expenses.
• Inefficient Route Planning: Suboptimal route planning can result in higher
fuel consumption and transportation costs.

Technology Challenges:
• Outdated Systems: Using outdated technology for tracking and managing
shipments can lead to inefficiencies and errors.

Capacity Constraints:
• Limited Carrier Capacity: During peak seasons or unforeseen events,
carriers may face capacity constraints, leading to delays in booking and
transit.

Environmental Concerns:
• Sustainability Issues: Increasing focus on environmental sustainability may
lead to restrictions or changes in transportation methods, impacting
traditional shipment processes.
