Dear Shivangi,
To define the competencies of the warehouse personnel, first you have to decide the ratios on which the warehouse efficiency needs to be measured. These ratios would depend on geographical location of the warehouse, distance between factory and the warehouse, equipment used, type of product stored, number of wholesalers or retailers it serves, per cent of material exported and so on. further, you need to understand the role of warehouse in the entire supply chain. Therefore, study of the entire supply chain is also essential.
I ask these questions because I conduct the training programmes in the field of
Purchase and Inventory Management and one amongst them is
Warehouse Management.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
