Measures to rationalize storage

In order to realize the rationalization of commodity storage, the following measures can be taken. (1) Make a reasonable choice between self-built warehouse and rented public warehouse to find the optimal solution.

Self-built warehouse can enable enterprises to control inventory to a greater extent, with greater flexibility, and enterprises can make reasonable adjustments to the warehouse according to their own needs. Generally speaking, the cost of long-term storage is relatively low. Because renting public warehouses, enterprises do not need to invest a lot of money to build warehouses, which can save valuable funds for enterprises; Renting a public warehouse can reduce the risk of enterprises, because when there is a problem during the storage of goods. The warehouse will solve it; Therefore, in the short term, the public warehouse is relatively cheap because of the scale rent; Moreover, enterprises renting public warehouses can decide the storage scale according to the quantity of goods to be stored, which also prevents the waste of funds. Therefore, enterprises should make a reasonable choice between building their own warehouses and renting public warehouses according to their own characteristics. Generally speaking, when the enterprise has large inventory, stable commodity demand and high market density, it can consider building its own warehouse, otherwise, it should choose to rent a public warehouse. (2) Pay attention to the application of contract warehousing, that is, the application of third-party warehousing.

Contract warehousing means that an enterprise subcontracts its warehousing activities to an external company, which provides an integrated and all-round warehousing service for the enterprise. Contract warehousing has the advantages of strong professionalism, high quality and low cost, and can provide quality services for enterprises. Contract warehousing can effectively use warehousing resources, expand the geographical scope of the market and reduce transportation costs. (three) ABC classification of warehousing, and the implementation of key management on the basis of ABC classification.

ABC classification management method is to divide inventory materials into three grades according to their importance: particularly important inventory (Class A), generally important inventory (Class B) and unimportant inventory (Class C), and then manage and control the different grades respectively. ABC classification management method is the basis of implementing storage rationalization, and on this basis, it further solves various rationalization problems such as structural relationship, storage capacity, key management and technical measures. Moreover, through the implementation of key management on the basis of ABC analysis, we can determine the reasonable inventory quantity of various items and the way to maintain reasonable inventory economically, and even implement zero inventory.
