What methods do enterprises have to reduce storage costs?

Although warehousing cost is an important part of logistics cost, there is a contradiction between warehousing cost and other factors in logistics, such as transportation cost and distribution cost. Therefore, reducing storage costs must be carried out without reducing the overall service quality of enterprises. Common measures to reduce storage costs are as follows:

1. Set the upper limit of inventory reasonably, and set the maximum inventory quantity according to the usage. If the maximum quantity is reached, stop purchasing raw materials.

2, clean up the inventory, clean up the long-term inventory, moldy inventory, unusable inventory and other dull inventory.

3. Optimize the storage mode of inventory, choose different stacking modes according to the characteristics of different items, and maximize the utilization rate of the warehouse.

4. Sticking to the first-in first-out method can reduce the inventory loss caused by price.

5. Optimize human resources, reasonably set the number of warehouse administrators, and reduce labor costs.
