INTEGRATION OF LOGISTICS FUNCTIONAL AREAS AND THE PLACE OF WAREHOUSING IN THEM

Abstract

Warehousing logistics is a branch of logistics that deals with the development of effective methods for organizing warehousing, managing the procurement system, receiving, placing, accounting for inventory and inventory management in order to minimize costs associated with warehousing and processing of goods.

As a complex technical structure, a warehouse consists of numerous interconnected elements, has a specific structure and performs the functions of transforming material flows, accumulating, processing and distributing goods among consumers. The possible variety of parameters, technological and space-planning solutions, designs of technological and handling equipment and characteristics of a diverse range of goods processed in warehouses classify warehouses as complex systems. At the same time, the warehouse itself is just an element of a higher-level system - the logistics chain, which forms the basic and technical requirements for the warehouse logistics subsystem, sets goals and criteria for its optimal functioning, and dictates the conditions for cargo processing.
