Managing logistics in fast moving consumable goods is one of the most complicated tasks in the world. It is not easy to dispatch hundreds of SKU’s from a single warehouse to a number of retail shops in its area. There is a chance of SKU’s being damaged and there’s a possibility of theft and burglary too. Apart from damages and loss due to theft, there are other factors which need a lot of attention while maintaining a warehouse. It is about maintaining the inflow and outflow of the stocks. Many warehouses prefer to use FIFO which is the best possible system as the stocks which enter a warehouse don’t stay long as they are dispatched earlier. In this way the stocks in a warehouse don’t expire and loss can be evaded. Another important thing in a warehouse is orders. The lead time, the re-order level and re-ordering quantity should be well maintained so that the supply always remains smooth.

These are the factors which need to be considered while maintaining a warehouse. The introduction of wms software has made all the warehouses very easy to operate and conduct day to day supply. With such software installed in a warehouse means less time needed to maintain a warehouse and the spared time could be utilized in other productive areas.
