Physical Inventory And Warehouse Management
Summary
Previous chapters in this book have used theory and common sense to effectively manage inventories. This chapter looks at the physical handing and storage of inventory. Ware-housing is changing from a place to simply store material to a strategic activity affecting a major investment to companies and a significant factor in improving customer service. The basic warehouse activities of receiving, identifying, storing, retrieving, and eventually shipping goods are all still required, but technology and the need for speed in the supply chain are changing the way we do things. “A place for everything and everything in its place” has given way to floating locations and point-of-use storage. As movements are being sped up there is an increasing need for control and security, and it is important that workers know and understand proper procedures and the consequences of errors. To pro-vide high levels of customer service, inventory records must be accurate. Cycle counting improves record accuracy but, more importantly, finds errors in the inventory systems so that processes can be continually improved. Bar code and RFID technologies are widely used in any modern inventory and warehousing system, improving data accuracy and speeding the movement of product.
