Warehouse???
• A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods.
• Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, customs, etc.
• They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns. They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses load and unload goods directly from railways, airports, or seaport.

Location Of Storage• A fundamental concept in The Warehouse Management System is
the Location - the place items are stored.• As the Apparel Software System is a generic system, it must
provide flexibility to cope with any type of warehouse and any type of stock.
• In order to provide such flexibility, the following conceptual areas within the warehouse are used:
-Zones -Faces -Bays
![Page 12: Information Systems in Apparel Warehouse](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042814/552492734a7959ac488b4824/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• A zone is the largest area within a warehouse. In some warehouses, especially small warehouses, there may be only one zone whereas in other, possibly larger warehouses there may be several zones. You can use zones to separate different departments.
• A face represents a picking face: the aisle you walk down when picking goods from a particular bay. Faces generally run parallel to each other.
• A bay is a vertical multi-level collection of locations. One level within a bay represents the smallest area within a warehouse: a single unique location. A location can store any type of item and could be a pallet, a clothes rail, a bin or even simply floor space.

How can Warehouse Control Software help the operation?
• Warehouse Control Software is able to interface with equipment from a variety of vendors, providing flexibility in purchasing decisions.
• Warehouse Control Systems react to feedback from the material handling system and quickly adjust processes to maintain a better product flow.
• Warehouse Control Software, with visibility to both incoming orders and orders already in process, can release orders in quantities to match the system’s current ability to process them : continuous flow.
• Warehouse Control Systems coordinate multiple types of material handling equipment within one system.
