Warehouse in physical distribution system. Warehouse and its location choosing. International systems of warehouse rating

Abstract

The subject of the study is the functional and classification features of warehouse management in modern supply chains (logistics chains). The purpose of the work: based on classical approaches to the classification and methods of choosing the optimal warehouse system, to develop the author’s concept of physical distribution of goods system. This concept hinges on a synergistic effect with a combination of functional, technical and specialized features. The methodological base rests on the fundamental works by Jeroen Peter van den Berg, Paul R. Murphy, and Edward Frazelli, further developed by Richards Gwynn and O.B. Malikov; the parameters, elaborated by Knight Frank, are employed. The scientific novelty and relevance of the study are confirmed by the fact that combining traditional and new approaches to the methodology of building a warehousing system, the structure of a logistics system that is maximally adaptive for modern ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is disclosed.
