Abstract

Warehousing logistics is a branch of logistics that deals with the development of effective methods for organizing warehousing, managing the procurement system, receiving, placing, accounting for inventory and inventory management in order to minimize costs associated with warehousing and processing of goods.As a complex technical structure, a warehouse consists of numerous interconnected elements, has a specific structure and performs the functions of transforming material flows, accumulating, processing and distributing goods among consumers. The possible variety of parameters, technological and space-planning solutions, designs of technological and handling equipment and characteristics of a diverse range of goods processed in warehouses classify warehouses as complex systems.
