    Warehouse operations can be optimized by minimizing touches, offloading processes to a warehouse control system, using logical stock sequencing, gathering operations intelligence, selectively upgrading, gaining end-to-end visibility, aligning with business goals, automating processes, establishing flexibility, and establishing KPIs. Warehousing creates value by identifying what is valuable to buyers and realizing that value through efficiency and productivity gains.

    1. How do you optimize warehouse operations? Identify and explain?

    Warehouse operations can be optimized by:

    1) Minimizing the number of touches that can cause errors and damages to
    products and orders.

    2) Offload some WMS processes to a Warehouse Control System (WCS). WCS


    solutions help manage materials handling equipment in real time, which will
    maximize system throughput and performance, and provide visibility to potential
    logjams.

    3) Stock materials using logical sequencing that is meaningful for workers. Doing
    this will Prevent goods from being misplaced by storing them where workers will
    intuitively look for them.

    4) Gather real-time operations intelligence on warehousing processes.


    Benchmarking performance and analyzing collected data can facilitate more
    informed decisions about how to respond to changing customer requirements
    and business goals.

    5) Upgrade selectively. Don’t just implement the latest, greatest module from your
    WMS vendor. The added complexity may slow operations, befuddle staff, and
    generate unnecessary work.

    6) Gain end-to-end visibility throughout the facility and processes. Many


    organizations, supply chain executives and corporate operations plan
    independently, often negatively impacting corporate goals so warehouses need
    to Maximize profits and establish competitive advantage with cross-functional
    organizational plans.

    7) Align warehouse operations with key business goals. Even if facing pressure
    from customers to implement changes, don't ignore your overall business
    objectives. Focus on actions that meet strategies.

    8) Implement equipment to automate warehousing processes. Warehouse


    automation increases throughput, eliminates errors, and heightens shipping,
    picking, packing, storage, crossdocking, and labor performance.
    9) Establish flexibility and agility in the warehouse. Select a WMS that seamlessly
    integrates with your ERP and supply chain systems to be able to make changes
    fast when you face competitive pressures. 

    10)Establish key performance indicators. Measure results, and implement changes


    to improve your business performance.

    2. How does warehousing create value for firms and supply chains?
    Elaborate and give example.

    Warehousing creates value for firms and supply chains by identifying what would
    be of value to an individual buyer and then finding or making a way for that
    unique value to be realized. Unlike added value, created value is original and
    unique to the one buyer it suits. To elaborate value creation is any process that
    creates outputs that are more valuable that its inputs. This is the basis of
    efficiency and productivity. Example of this is a firm that manufactures eye glass
    frames on a product line. The eye glass frames have greater value on the market
    than the cost of inputs such capital, labor, energy and materials.

    Summarize what you learn (Possible student prompts: What did you learn? What
    worked well? What was the most challenging aspect of this project? What will
    you do differently next time?)

    I learned that Warehouse operations efficiency is key to the success of any


    company that processes, inventories, and ships orders. When efficiency lags,
    products may not arrive at customer destinations on time, orders can get lost,
    and low inventory levels can result in stockouts. And The most challenging
    aspect of this project is to seek for a reliable resource and to have a good eye to
    eye contact while recording yourself but I overcome it and finished the task given.
