Warehouse

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
