Introduction
Our group will look into the primary warehouse functions of receiving and shipping activities in this blog. In every warehouse and distribution center, product movement and storage will only begin at the receiving dock by handling either raw materials or products in large quantity (e.g. pallet load), and finish at the shipping dock by handling finished goods or smaller individual customer order quantity (e.g. cartons).
The objective of the receiving function is to ensure supplier delivers the right product, in the right quantities, in good condition, and on schedule to our warehouse. Activities in this department include arranging delivery vehicle at the dock, unloading goods from delivery truck, verify product quantity and quality, identify product in SKU into inventory, and forking these products to the storage area.
Next, the objective of the shipping function is to ensure that order-pick activity is accurate. This means that the right type of goods is picked in the correct quantity, in good condition, and on schedule. Activities in this department include arranging delivery vehicle at the dock, sorting, accumulating, packing, and verifying the order quantity and type of product, seal, secure and manifesting the cargo, and loading the goods onto the delivery truck.
