For an ideal warehouse, adequate space should be covered for maximum storage and to keep the goods in proper order.
This will help in the smooth movement of goods positively. The warehouse should be used to keep materials and products only. It should not be used as a residential area.
Each trader (big or small) would want that all of his merchandise should be accommodated in one warehouse so that he need not travel to different places to manage the loading and unloading of his goods.
For effective movement of goods and cost saving, warehouses should be established at places, which are convenient to both the buyer and the seller. These warehouses should be set up near railway stations, major highways, seaports and airports, where goods can be loaded and unloaded conveniently. It is also recommended to have godowns in open places so that the vehicles can move around easily.
In the warehouses, mechanical appliances should be used to load and unload the goods. It not only results in the safety of men and materials but also reduces wastages in handling goods and overall handling costs.
Parking along roads, and public places in the urban/suburban areas continues to be a harrowing experience for the traders who visit from outstations. Hence, in warehouses, proper arrangements should be made inside the premises to assist in quick loading, unloading and safe parking.
A warehouse, which is used to store eatables or perishable goods should be equipped with proper storage, moisture resistance etc facilities.
Further, efforts should be made to secure the warehouse against possibility of theft and damage from heat, rainwater, insects, pests and fire.
The use of fire extinguishers, safety alarms, budgets and round the clock security arrangements should be there to secure warehouses from unforeseen mis-happenings.
If warehouses are not managed properly, all the money spent will go to waste. Mismanagement may lead to theft, loss, errors and omissions of goods stored by various traders. Hence, a strict control over the warehouse is essential on a permanent basis. A permanent officer should be appointed for proper arrangements of incoming and outgoing goods.
