2. A warehouse is typically viewed as a place to store inventory! However, in many logistical system designs, the role of the warehouse is more properly viewed as a switching facility as contrasted to a storage facility. • Whether the warehouse is a small manual operation or a large automated facility, the following principles are relevant: • Design criteria • Handling technology • Storage plan @/Arpro® “The way Intellectually FUN people like to learn!” Provided by Arpro Solutions, LLC

Alternative Warehouse Strategies • Private Warehouses • Public Warehouses(general merchandise, refrigerated, commodity, …) • Contract Warehouses A private warehouses could be the supplier’s warehouse, which stores components and maintains a minimum stock, for third-party work and assembly. Contract warehousing combines the best characteristics of both private and public operations. @/Arpro® manages multi-warehouses, controls and restores the minimum stock, even in the face of new customer orders.

9. Inventory Management As a part of the supply chain, inventory management includes aspects such as controlling and overseeing purchases — from suppliers as well as customers — maintaining the storage of stock, controlling the amount of product for sale, and order fulfillment. However, knowing when to reorder, how much to order, where to store stock and so on can quickly become a complicated process. As a result, many growing businesses graduate to an inventory management app, with capabilities beyond manual databases and formulas. @/Arpro® manages the inventory, loading and unloading the raw material, semi-finished and finished items. The program works in real time in all the business management software documents. @/Arpro Erp® Planning Module, analyzes the customer order backlogs, the situation of the warehouse(s) and minimum stock, orders to supplier and production requirements, in real-time. “The way Intellectually FUN people like to learn!” Provided by Arpro Solutions, LLC
