The warehouse is playing a bigger and bigger role in improving supply chain performance. Traditionally seen as a place for storing products increasing they are also used as stockless staging posts that increase the flow of product through the overall supply chain. A warehouse is a complex resource that combines both people and mechanical equipment in a confined area. How well it is managed has a significant impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the supply chain. It also has an impact on the financial performance of a company. Finally it is the location for the majority of industrial accidents so it poses special challenges to managers. This unit considers the activities involved in warehousing and materials handling and how they can be effectively managed.
