Unit 5 Warehousing Passage A Introduction to Warehousing Warehousing is the storage of goods for profit as the part of firm’s logistics system. The physical location, the warehouse, is a storage facility that receives goods and products for the eventual distribution to consumers or other businesses. History Ware-housing’s roots date back to the creation of granaries to store food during times of famine. As European explorers began to create shipping-trade routes with other nations, warehouses at the ports grew in importance for the storage of products and commodities from afar. As railroads began to expand travel and transportation, the creation of rail depots for the storage of materials became necessary. Later, because the government placed more restrictions on railroads, commercial warehousing began to grow. World War Ⅱ also impacted warehousing. As mass production grew throughout manufacturing, the needs of efficient and effective warehousing capabilities grew with it. Part I Practical Reading

Passage B Warehouse Operation and Management The basic function of a warehouse is to receive customer orders, retrieve required items, and finally prepare and ship those items. There are many ways to organize these operations but the overall process in most warehouses shares the following common phases. Receiving—the process of unloading, checking quality and quantity, and disassembling or repacking items for storage. Put-away—defining the appropriate location for items and transferring them to the specified storage location to wait for demand. Order picking—retrieving items from their storage locations and transporting them either to a sorting process or straight to the shipping area. Shipping—inspecting, packing, palletizing and loading items into a carrier for further delivery. Unit 5 Warehousing
