There are different types of workshops and places for storing raw materials, finished products and other things and materials. If we consider them by the type of movement of storage facilities, then a whole chain is formed. And each of the links of this chain can be represented by structures of different types, size and functions.
There are typically three types of storage places: production warehouses, storage warehouses, warehouses for distribution. Some places for storage can differ greatly from traditional warehouses, for example, storage for storage of cement looks like large containers for storing bulk mixtures. They are intermediate storages from which cement is sent to concrete mixing installations. The warehouse can also look like a bunker (for example, sand bunker in a construction organization) and many other types of storage facilities that differ in all parameters from the traditional concept of a warehouse.
Production warehouses (warehouses used by production organizations) are used for materials and raw materials that are used for production or contain products produced by the company.
Conventional storage warehouses are used for long-term storage of any goods, materials or raw materials. These are temporary, intermediate warehouses, exchange warehouses.
The distribution warehouses are used, as a rule, for sorting goods, short -term storage of goods before sending to the consumer, etc. p.
The main differences between storage and distribution (distribution) warehouses are that on the second types of warehouses, goods should not be stored for a very long time. As a rule, they are in these warehouses and leave them for 48 hours (but they can be there longer). The throughput of such warehouses is extremely high.
There are a lot of storage types. And they can be in any of the links of the chain of movement of goods, goods and raw materials.
In a traditional manner, goods are moved from production warehouses to storage warehouses, and then sent to distribution warehouses. For example, the company produced products, which then sent for temporary storage for its own warehouse, then from this warehouse the products went to a general storage warehouse, and from there to the supplier warehouse and then from there to the client. But this is not the only option for moving goods and raw materials in warehouses. The chain can vary and even consist of many links, and not just these three. For example, raw materials can come from the place of prey to the intermediate warehouse (for example, to the terminals of cargo transportation, for example, in the port) and from there go to the company’s production warehouse or straight to the place of long -term storage, and from there to the production warehouse or client. So, sand is mined in a career, and from there it can be taken to the hopper for storing a construction company, which stores sand for its own construction needs.
