Effective Warehouse & Inventory Management
24th - 25th Mar 2010,The Summit Hotel,Subang Jaya
Dear Friend,
Warehouse has become very important for businesses today. Why? Because you could save your cost, delivery time and instill reliability in your business. However, many people still stick with the traditional business book rules, which said "Warehouse only add cost". Many of them said so because they can't justify the value of their warehouse function. And as a warehouse manager, it is your job to make clear definition of the value of your warehouse, as how it could add value to your organization.
"To convince yourself of the value of warehouse, consider the value of the refrigerator in your home. Your refrigerator is essentially a warehouse. You purchase food at supermarket, deliver the food to your refrigerator, store it in the refrigerator, pick the food from your refrigerator as you need it, and ship the food to some location where it will be processed or consumed. What is the value of your refrigerator? What is the value of having milk when you want it, when you want it? If the answer is not yet clear, consider the costs of you would incur if you did not own a refrigerator. What are the costs of not having milk in your home for cereal for breakfast? Some of the costs are hunger from not eating, indigestion from eating dry cereal, the inconvenience of having to go to supermarket before breakfast and the actual expense of going to supermarket daily."
