Warehouse is not only a place for storing goods but also is thought to be an economic capital for organizations by itself. They are considered as a valuable place for saving capital. This capital is consisting of raw materials, parts, products and goods under construction. In addition to this intrinsic importance, it must be stated that a warehouse also plays an important executive role in supply chain. So, if we could make arrangements for optimum use of warehouse space and also for increasing the precision and speed of the executive process it would have its positive impact on final cost of manufactured goods through reduction of logistic costs and saving more capital of organization. Basically, these arrangements distinguish traditional warehousing from the modern one.
In this modern world of today, growing human knowledge in different fields and creation of giant complicated organizations has led to the production of varied industrial and consumptive goods. To move forward, these companies are required to be flexible enough to produce, distribute and consume these various goods. Meanwhile a warehouse is doing as a sponsor for activity process and as an instrument to fulfill the goals. As a result, warehousing is of the great importance to create such intended flexibilities. In fact, this way, it is possible to face up to unpredictable events, inside or outside the system and also to deliver the goods to costumers quicker to reach their satisfaction in order to avoid being removed from competition. All these would be possible only if a warehouse has done its duty well to support the process which requires a good management of the warehouse.
This management is not only a matter of physical management but also is of an informational importance too. Management means planning, controlling and leadership of the facilities and present capabilities, human resources, and space. This outlook determines differences between a traditional management and a modern one. A traditional attitude considers management as a black box which let goods get in from one side and let them go out from other side without caring about its power of profitability. What is important here is to control the amount of goods being carried in or out of the warehouse. On the other side, the modern outlook opens this black box to examine the facilities and the space of the warehouse in order to prevent supply lines from being stopped or disturbed.
Having an expert team of engineers in the field of services and warehouse mechanism, Aram Fahim institute is able to organize operational and informational process of warehousing quickly and also to design and implement warehouse management system (WMS) to assure employers that the warehouse is doing well.
