What is a warehouse?
Materials and goods are stored in warehouses that are only needed later and must be kept available for later use, e.g. for sale. A warehouse is an entire building or individual premises.
A warehouse incurs operating costs and requires a lot of space. In the manufacturing sector, the just-in-time process is therefore used to save storage space. This means that the goods are delivered exactly when they are needed for production.
These types of storage exist in companies:
- Warehouse
- Material store
- Workshop warehouse
- Interim storage
- Shipping warehouse
- Raw material warehouse
- Sales warehouse
- Finished goods warehouse
