Though often denigrated as a “necessary evil”, warehouses provide value to businesses and supply chains by many means. (A0ll0r:0ig1h:4t,2w):e're going to take some notes on this, and we'll call this warehouse value added.

When production changeover costs are expensive and/or time consuming, longer production runs may be optimal for the supply chain and the business. The resulting inventory, called lot size inventory is naturally housed in warehouses. (T0h0e:r0e4:a0r3e):other economies of scale, though.

Special opportunities to procure including end-of-life inventory for key products and significant discounts for products with low cost and likelihood of obsolescence may justify large inventory acquisitions.

The most expensive cost components of getting chocolate candy to the shelf is sugar, cocoa, and manufacturing. As a result, candy companies take advantage of low prices on sugar and cocoa and procure in large quantities. In addition, since the shelf life is long and the probability of obsolescence is low, they make large batches of candy at once. The procurement and production lot sizes are housed in large warehouses.

Those are some ways that a warehouse adds value in business and in logistics.

In order to achieve transportation economies of scale, small order quantities must be consolidated into large shipments. Warehouses are natural places for that consolidation to occur.

(W0h0a:0t5e:l5s4e?):That's a lot, but there's some other ways the warehouse adds value. Yeah, Rob? Ec ux sc teol lme ni zt e.

Warehouses are natural homes for value added services and order customization. Monogramming, like that provided as a popular customer service and product differentiation by LL Bean is a classic example. (W0h0a:0t'6s:4a2n)o:ther way? Good, Steve: consolidation.

When ordering two or more items from a mail order or e-commerce provider, those items show up at the same time in the same delivery. For the most part that requires having them under the same warehouse roof.

As odd as it may sound, returns processing is a means by which warehouses add value in business and supply chain management, especially as a customer service.

Safety stock inventory allows companies to provide high fill rates to customers. That safety stock inventory is naturally held in a warehouse, as close to customers as possible to reduce customer response time.

Configured accordingly, a warehouse may be an excellent space for quality control via visual inspection. Managed properly, warehouse locations holding products that have not cleared quality compliance may be blocked from access until clearance occurs. Response time, excellent. We'll put that under customer service.

Warehousing and the Value of Time Warehouses in close proximity to the customer baseand with short internal cycle �mes help to reduce response �mes to customers . We have one client that provides same -day delivery of cri�cal service parts. The company accomplishes this with a na�onwide network of small warehouses with short order cycle �mes . One of our financial services clients supports its financial analysts with small warehouses located in the centers of major financial districts, serving financial service offices via subway,courier, walking ,and bicycles. One of our convenience store clients is increasing product freshness by increasing delivery frequencies to its 14,000 stores supported by a major increase in the number and capacityof its warehouses and distribu�on centers. The current master of warehousing and the value of �me is Amazon , leveraging warehousing to provide high availability of popular SKUs within hours of the large swaths of the US and soon to be global popula�on .

A bonded warehouse, sometimes called a customs warehouse, is a warehouse within a warehouse or a warehouse unto itself where goods may be held awaiting customs clearance and for which duty payment is delayed until the goods depart the bonded warehouse or related free trade zone.

The Plight of the Warehouse Manager

Under the influence of e- commerce , supply chain collabora�on , globaliza�on , quick response, and just -in- �me , warehouses today are being asked to (1) execute more , smallertransac�ons , (2) handle and store more items (3) provide more product and service customiza�on , (4) offer more value -added services , (5) process more returns, (6) serve more channels, (7) process a greater variety of order types, (8) receive and ship more interna�onal orders, and (9) provide higher levels of safety and security for people and property. At the same�me warehouses today have (1) less �me to process an order, (2) less margin for error, (3) less young, skilled ,English speaking personnel, (4) under- developed systems capability,and (5) re�cence to automate despite all the publicity surrounding warehouse automa�on . I call this rock and a hard place scenario the plight of the warehouse manager . Never has the warehouse been asked to do so much andat the same�me been so strapped for resources at the same�me .

Warehouse Op�miza�on In technical terms , op�miza�on is an approachto decision making or problem solving that frames the issue at hand with an objec�ve func�on and constraints. In warehousing, the objec�ve is to minimize total warehousing costs. The constraintsare the service , throughput, storage, safety, and security requirements . Total warehousing costs include the cost of labor, occupancy, material handling systems , and informa�on handling systems . Service requirements (constraints)include inventory and shipping accuracy as well as inbound and outbound cycle �mes . Throughput requirements include peak and average inbound and outbound transac�on rates at the docks and throughout the facility. Storage requirements , peak and average , are dictated by the inventory strategy and associated inventory peaks and valleys . Safety and security requirements are corporate mandates . RightChain™ Warehousing considers the full range of warehousing costs and constraintsin cra�ing op�mal warehouse designs.

ERP systems are running more warehouses than any other type of system. Though improving, unfortunately, ERP functionality for warehousing and logistics is severely limited and limiting.

The Role of Warehousing in Supply Chain Logis�cs

When the total cost of raw materials and key components is a major por�on of the total supply chaincost, when the unit costs of those materials are low, when overall demand is high, when significant discounts are offered for large procurement lots, when there is low likelihood of obsolescence, and when inventory carrying rates are low, large procurement buys with associated large lot size inventory levels may be well jus�fied . That inventory must be housed somewhere , and that somewhere is a warehouse, some�mes calleda raw materials warehouse.

First Things First! King Solomon was the wisest man of all �me , the greatest of all the kings of the earth; and in real, �me - normalized dollars,he was the wealthiest man who ever lived . He was also a great builder, famous for the construc�on of Solomon ’s temple , one of the world’s iconic structures. In reading some of Solomon ’s books , I came acrossa key principlefor buildingthat is profound wisdom for warehousing. Applied to building warehouses, the principle is to first determine the business and supply chain requirements for the warehouse, then build it. Many enterprises have it backwards , so focused on the physicalstructure, their businesses wind up being constrained by their infrastructure instead of being bolstered by it. Our RightChain™ Methodology and op�miza�on systems are designed to help our client customers iden�fy the business and supplychain requirements their warehouses are meant to serve . “ Develop your business first before buildingyour house.” - Solomon
