WAY TO START WAREHOUSING

BUSINESS

1 June 2021 Prepared By Someshwer

 WHAT IS WAREHOUSE

Warehousing is the process of storing physical goods before

they are sold or further distributed in a dedicated
warehouse or storage facility. Warehouses safely and
securely store products in an organized way to track where
items are located, when they arrived, how long they have
been there, and the quantity on hand.
For small or new businesses, warehousing inventory may
be done from Plant until they outgrow the space. At that
point, a business will have to rent storage space, lease a
warehouse and store inventory in their warehousing
facilities.

 PRIMARY WAREHOUSE PROCESS & OPTIMIZE
THEM
• 1. Receiving
Receiving is the first warehouse process and one of the most crucial. To perform the
receiving process properly, the warehouse should be able to verify that it has
received the right product, in the right quantity, in the right condition, and at the
right time. Failing to do so will have consequent impacts on all subsequent
operations

How to Optimize:
• The aim of optimizing the warehouse receiving process is to receive cargo
efficiently and correctly and to avoid accumulation at the receiving docks.
Solutions such as power pallet trucks and conveyors will allow you to unload cargo
and clear dock areas faster and more efficiently.

2. Put-Away
Put-away is the second warehouse process and is the movement of goods from the receiving dock to
the most optimal warehouse storage location. Failing to place goods in their most ideal location can
impair the productivity of warehouse operation. When goods are put away properly, there are several
benefits:

• Cargo is stored faster and more efficiently

• Travel time is minimized
• Safety of goods and employees is ensured
• Warehouse space utilization is maximized
• Cargo is easier and faster to find, track, and retrieve

How to Optimize:
• The aim of optimizing the put away process is to move goods for storage to their most optimal
location in a fast, efficient, and effective manner. Software such as slotting and space management
systems automatically assign optimal spaces for each cargo to allow for a streamlined put away
process and maximized space utilization. In addition, put away mobile applications and devices
direct clerks to store cargo in the right location.

3. Storage
• Storage is the warehouse process in which goods are placed into their most
appropriate storage space. When done properly, the storage process fully
maximizes the available space in your warehouse and increases labor
efficiency.

How to Optimize:
• Optimizing your storage process is only possible when the right KPIs are
properly tracked. Having a software that automatically calculates your
warehouse storage utilization and tracks the right storage KPIs will allow you
to determine how efficient each aspect of your storage process is. Slotting
optimization systems can also help you by assisting with the allocation of the
best storage location for a given cargo. Lastly, utilizing the right warehouse
storage system according to the size of your facility and product mix allows
you to maximize your horizontal and vertical spaces while improving
warehouse efficiency.

4. Picking
• Picking is the warehouse process that collects products in a warehouse to
fulfill customer orders. Since it is the costliest process in the warehouse,
comprising as much as 55% of the total operating expense, optimizing this
process will allow you to reduce costs significantly and increase your
warehouse efficiency. Streamlining of this process should also focus on
achieving higher accuracy, as errors can have a direct impact on your customer
satisfaction.

How to Optimize:
• One of the ways to optimize the picking process is introducing the right
technologies. Technologies such as mobile and wearable's can streamline the
picking process because they allow clerks to view picking lists wirelessly,
access systems in real time, and scan anywhere in the warehouse. Other viable
options include conducting an ABC analysis to improve your warehouse layout,
selecting the right picking methodology, and utilizing software to guide clerks
in properly executing the picking process.

5. Packing
• Packing is the warehouse process that consolidates picked items in a sales order
and prepares them for shipment to the customer. One of the primary tasks of
packing is to ensure that damages are minimized from the time items leave the
warehouse. Additionally, packaging must be light enough so as not to increase the
weight of the goods and minimal enough to control packaging costs.

How to Optimize:
• Optimizing the packing process can be done by utilizing software to guide people
in executing the tasks. Provided that a packing system has all the necessary data,
such as dimensions and weight, the system can automatically determine the type
and amount of packaging material that will keep the item safe and packing costs
low.

6. Shipping
• Shipping is the final warehouse process and the start of the journey of goods from
the warehouse to the customer. Shipping is considered successful only if the right
order is sorted and loaded, is dispatched to the right customer, travels through the
right transit mode, and is delivered safely and on time.

How to Optimize:
• To optimize the shipping process, having software systems to streamline many of
the tasks is critical. Labor management systems let you allocate the right amount
of resources to prevent over or under allocation. Having a shipping mobile
application and device lets you have the right information on hand and in real time
to verify shipments on the fly. And loading systems can let you have guides that
clearly instruct how to load cargo safely and efficiently.

 INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY WITH DIGITAL
SIGNAGE

One of the greatest innovations to come along years concept of

digital signage for dock workers.

Information needed by loaders, drivers & support staff.

Everything is up on the digital display and now all workers can

see exactly what he alone was seeing in the past.

 ENSURE SAFETY WITH IMPROVED LOADING
RAMPS & DOCKS BOARDS
While not new to the industry, the technology behind loading
ramps and docks board is improving by the day.

This is a safety issue that must be dealt with at the first sign of
buckling. To see just how far the industry has progressed, take a
look at these docks boards

 WORK SAFELY AT NIGHT WITH SUPER BRIGHT
LIGHT

There was a time when loading docks only operated during

daylight hours. The crew worked a 9 to 5 and everyone headed
home when the whistle blew.

Now with the advent of super bright LED lights for warehouse
and loading docks, it is possible to light up the area as if it were
midday and workers can be on the job any time of the day or
night

 FOCUS ON INVENTORY LAYOUT

The Layout and organization of your warehouse plays a critical

role in the reduction of shipping time.

Saving time is also a matter of keeping more popular items at the

ground level. Basically, it takes longer to “Pick Vertically” than it
does to “Pick Horizontally”
