Warehouse management

Warehouse Management 2021-06-20 08:27:25 (1) Warehousing refers to the storage and custody of commodities through the warehouse. It arises with the products stored in the commodity, and develops with the development of productivity. . Warehousing is one of the important links of commodity circulation and an important pillar of logistics activities. Under the conditions of social division of labor and specialized production, in order to maintain the smooth progress of the social reproduction process, a certain amount of commodities must be stored to meet the needs of society within a certain period of time. The needs of production and consumption. Generally speaking, warehouse management is the management of the storage of goods. In a broad sense, the warehousing pipeline is the management of a series of activities such as the storage and transfer of goods in the logistics process and the resulting goods handling, packaging, sorting, sorting, and subsequent processing. Warehousing activities are in various stages of social activities and in various industries, and the form and content of warehousing management are quite different. The warehousing we are talking about includes not only traditional warehouses generally used for storage and storage of goods, but also distribution centers and logistics centers in the process of commodity circulation and distribution. The warehousing management mentioned in this article covers the management of general storage cargo warehouses, as well as the management of logistics centers and distribution center warehouses that realize the functions of cargo transfer and stowage in the modern logistics chain. (2) The role of warehousing and re-logistics (3) In social production and life, due to the inconsistency of production and consumption rhythms, the storage and retention of commodities in the re-circulation process has become inevitable. In the time difference between production and consumption or supply and demand in logistics from Guangzhou to Taiyuan, properly maintaining the integrity of the goods is a problem that the warehousing link has to face in the logistics process. The main role of warehousing in logistics can be summarized as follows: 1. Warehousing is an important link in the logistics process. The logistics process mainly includes two modes of operation: transportation and warehousing. Transportation and warehousing use 'mobile' and 'stationary' to realize the connection between 'supply' and 'demand'. Transportation is the function of realizing its value by moving the position of the goods, while traditional warehousing is the function of adding value by changing the time of the goods. Modern warehousing refers to a form of logistics in which commodities are in a 'stop' or 'stationary' state during the circulation process. 2. The warehousing section guarantees the smooth progress of the social reproduction process. The warehousing process of goods is not only a necessary guarantee for commodity circulation, but also a necessary condition for the social reproduction process to proceed. The production process of commodities requires the preparation and supply of raw materials, parts, and accessories. The lack of a warehousing process in the chain of commodity production makes it difficult to realize production, and the reproduction process of commodities will stop. 3. Warehousing can optimize commodity circulation and save circulation costs. The warehousing link in the logistics process is a node in the commodity circulation network. Through warehousing operations from Guangzhou to Shijiazhuang, the circulation of commodities can be smoothed, the speed of commodity circulation can be accelerated, and the overall cost of commodity circulation can be reduced. Warehousing shortens the unit commodity circulation distance and time in the circulation process of commodities through storage and sorting processes, thereby reducing the overall cost of commodity circulation. 4. Warehousing can ensure the quality of commodities in the recirculation process. Through the warehousing link, the circulating commodities are inspected, and the quality inspection work before the commodities enter the market can be strengthened to prevent substandard commodities from entering the market to the greatest extent. Therefore, it is an important task of warehousing management to do a good job in the inspection of goods in and out of the warehouse and manage the quality of goods in the warehouse. 5. Prepare for the goods to enter the market. In the warehousing operation, the goods can be sorted, packaged, quality checked, sorted, labelled, and processed. In the case of higher and higher operating costs in the end-of-sales link, the low cost and effectiveness of centralized warehouse operations can be used as much as possible to provide convenience and create value for the next circulation link. 6. Provide convenience for production In order to optimize production and circulation links, simplify production process varieties, reduce inventory varieties in circulation links, and realize part of the follow-up production process in warehousing links to achieve the purpose of reducing production or storage costs and respond quickly to customers Special requirements for products, and reduce the number of varieties produced and stocked. 7. Provide a place with reverse logistics. Warehousing in the general sense is to provide a place for the circulation of commodities from raw materials to finished products. Modern commodity circulation is developing in the direction of sustainable development. The packaging of commodities and their recycling after use are increasingly caused People's attention. Commodity circulation puts forward new requirements for reverse logistics, and warehouses are also an indispensable channel and place for reverse logistics.
