2. Warehouse
• A warehouse is a commercial building for
storage of goods. Warehouses are used by
manufacturers, importers, exporters,
wholesalers, transport businesses, customs,
etc. They are usually large plain buildings in
industrial areas of cities and towns and
villages.
3. WMS
• A warehouse management system (WMS) is a
key part of the supply chain and primarily
aims to control the movement and storage of
materials within a warehouse and process the
associated transactions, including shipping,
receiving, put away and picking.

7. Why WMS ?
• Automate and streamline the process.
• Overcome the problems of stock visibility and traceability,
and improving picking accuracy, avoiding losses made
through non deliveries, mis-deliveries, returns and service
level fines.
• Provide visibilities across your operation to clearly identify
areas of blockage and wastage, by ensuring all key
managers are kept fully up to date with all detailed
information as well as KPI’[Key Performance Indicators]s.
• Devote more time to building the business, as we will
provide all systems support, continual help and advice, and
systems improvement, whenever you need it.
8. Order Selection
• Two types.
• 1) Discrete selection
• In Discrete selection, a specific customer order
is selected and prepared for the shipment as a
specific work assignment. Often used when
the order content and handling selection are
critical
9. Wave selection or Batch Selection
• A wave can be coordinated by an area of the
warehouse where in all quantities of all
products required to complete all customer
order are selected at one time. For this
approach employees are assigned the
responsibility for a specific region of the
warehouse.
• Waves can be planned around a particular
shipment destination or a carrier.
10. • Advantage of the Wave
• Fewer selective errors typically resulting from
the wave picking
• Employee gets thorough knowledge of the
warehouse selection area on the shipping
procedure.
11. Pallet
A pallet is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being
lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader, work saver, or other jacking device, or a
crane. A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and
storage efficiencies. Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured
with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped. Since its invention in the
twentieth century, its use has dramatically supplanted older forms of crating like
the wooden box and the wooden barrel, as it works well with modern packaging
like cardboard boxes and Intermodal containers commonly used for bulk shipping.
While most pallets are wooden, pallets can also be made of plastic, metal, paper,
and recycled materials.

13. Accuracy and Audits
• A cycle count is an inventory auditing
procedure, which falls under inventory
management, where a small subset of
inventory, in a specific location, is counted on
a specified day.

15. Security
• Datacenter & Server Security Cages
• Data centres, server farms, and other
technical areas are all vulnerable security
points with a driving need to control access.
Companies have millions of dollars of digital
assets on servers and often depend on just an
inadequate locked room - or nothing at all - to
physically secure them.
16. • Employee Theft - How to Prevent it
• When it comes to warehouse thievery,
employees are most often than not the
culprit. There are preventative measures you
can take to limit or even put an end to your
inventory walking out the door.
17. • Material Handling: How it Affects Security
• The way you store and handle inventory is
critical to its security, especially in a
warehousing or production operation. The
more organized your storage systems are, the
more secure your inventory, tools, parts, and
equipment.
18. • Security at the Shipping Docks
• Almost any warehouse has something people
want, and will steal. Electronics, tools, footwear,
clothing, prescription drugs, computers, jewelry,
tobacco, and media especially coveted, but nearly
anything can be at risk from industrial
components to glassware. The shipping and
receiving docks are the weak point in most
operations' security. Here's how you can deter
theft at the docks.
19. Pilferage
• Pilferage is the theft of part of the contents of
a package. It may also include theft of the
contents but leaving the package, perhaps
resealed with bogus contents. Small packages
can be pilfered from a larger package such as a
shipping container.
20. Damage
• Product deterioration due careless handling
should be avoided.
• At all times the standard operation procedures
must be followed with proper safety measures
and checks.
21. Safety and Maintenance
• Accident prevention
• Corrective actions to eliminate unsafe
condition
• Provide clean work area
• Periodic preventive maintenance scheduling.
