Effective Warehouse Management
Warehousing requires effective management of time and space. The material handling tools used in facilities are used to conserve both time and space effectively. Trade-offs must be made. When space is at a premium, enormous creativity has been applied to finding ways to use the least amount of space possible. When both labor and real estate costs are high, the time/space economic calculation tends to fly out.
Within the four walls of distribution centers, material-handling equipment is broadly divided into three varieties. They are static equipment, mobile equipment and order picking tools. Static equipment consists of items without wheels such as storage equipment in the form of metal track. While some varieties are movable, none of them is mobile.
