Warehouse Main Operations
The warehouse has five main areas of operations, namely: goods in (receiving), main store, order picking, marshalling and, goods out (shipping).
In general, goods in includes receipt of goods, checking quantity and quality of goods, record receipts and discrepancies, unpack and repack, and decide goods location. Next, main store refers to the reserved storage area to locate goods and, to issue goods to replenish order picking stock. Order picking means selecting, packing and checking goods for customers and marshalling is assembling goods by customer or vehicle load. Lastly, goods out implies loading cargo into vehicles or containers.
Our blog will further explain the operations in receiving and shipping dock in the subsequent posts.
