Ⅲ.Translation
1. Warehouses are viewed as a temporary place to store inventory, very much as airports act as
terminal hubs for passengers who are then distributed widely across the world, or coach
stations distribute passengers across the country.
2. Warehouses are also used to break bulk into smaller orders, tranship, consolidate and
complete order activities for various dependent locations. Logistics managers should view a
warehouse as a temporary place to tranship goods to customers. It may involve some
temporary storage but essentially it is a place to undertake customer order completion,
possibly splitting bulk products and consolidating individual items from various locations.
3. Security is often low down on the list of priorities that a logistics manager has to deal with,
but it is none the less important. Security needs to be commensurate with the value of stock
held and the perceived risks. Internal and external warehouse security should be reviewed,
possibly using a consultant.
4. On arrival of a consignment, the staff should carry out checking procedures to ensure the
goods received are in the correct place, meet purchase order requirements and are in the
correct quantity and condition. It is likely that this area of the warehouse will have notification
of expected arrival times of deliveries via the transportation management and asset tracking
computer software. This may enable the staff to view a copy of the purchase order whereby
the above checks can be carried out.
5. Other activities which may impact on receipts procedures are, for example: unloading,
e.g. hazardous materials may be checked in another part of the warehouse; quality control
systems may segregate items for a period of time; replenishing or packaging of product;
acceptance and checking of returned goods.
