Training Program on Achieving Warehouse Competitiveness

Training Program on Achieving Warehouse Competitiveness
16 – 17 April 2009: Hotel Royal Orchid Central Park, Bangalore

In today’s competitive scenario, efficiency of Warehouses has become the significant factor in the supply chain execution strategy of any organization on its In bound as well as on its Out bound. It encompasses several processes like goods receipt, cross docking, yard management, bar coding, physical inventory management and distribution processes. Modern warehouses are profit centers rather than traditional storage spaces. More focus on increasing the efficiencies of warehouses are essential due to Warehousing costs contributing 25% to 30% of the total Supply chain costs, increase in number of Third party Logistics Service providers, better utilization of costly space, increased number of SKUs, more JIT requirements, more demanding customers etc., To integrate the Supply chain activities like procurement, distribution, transportation and storage the warehouses are designed, strategically positioned and used. In addition to traditional warehousing functions like picking, packing, cross docking, etc. modern present day warehouses support the supply chain with various value added services. Organizations are striving hard to improve their warehouse turn over and productivity by adaptation of Technology and various techniques.
