WAREHOUSE CONCEPT WRONG ????


Warehouse why its reqd ?

  1. Bulk Breaking
  2. Uncertain high in sales forecast
  3. Stock reqd in case of emergency

But Why

Only reqd is proper planning.

Lets take a example

Small amount of materials reqd
Answer :- PTL service is there

Need to distribute to large no of retailers
Answer :- B to B service provider is there

Seasonal Product
Answer :- Make good Super stockiest who can lift the materials

Uncertain Sales
Answer :- Look after the competitor , or wrong planning, if monopoly customer need to wait.

Bulk Breaking
 Answer :- Transporter warehouse ids there.

Need to store for few days
Answer :- Give detention, materials at vehicle only


I am not against warehousing concept, nurture all alternative before indulging one

Warehouse can lead to

  1. FIFO mismatch
  2. Extra rental cost
  3. Extra manpower cost
  4. Theft / pilferage
  5. Handling inefficiency leading to product damage
  6. Extra insurance coverage
  7. Electricity, local issue, license etc

Think once warehousing might not be a solution, its might be a headache.
