Warehouse Management
and Supply Coordination:
(Is the library a warehouse? Examples of logistics in case of
natural disasters and Logistics in Healthcare)
Warehouse Management:
Moving the material flows in the supply chain is impossible
without concentration in certain areas of necessary supplies, storage for
dedicated storage. Movement through the warehouse due to the cost of labor and
materials, which increases the cost of goods. In this regard, the problems
associated with the operation of ware-houses, have a significant impact on the
rationalization of movement of material flows in the supply chain, the use of
vehicles and distribution costs.
Set of operations that are performed at various warehouses,
fundamentally very sim- ilar. The reason is that different processes logistics
warehouses perform similar func- tions are:
- Creation of stocks of raw materials, semi-finished or
finished products
- Conversion of material flows
- The orderly storage and preparation for use in the process
of moving object flows from producer to consumer object.
- Increase the rhythm and timing of production and operation
of transport; improve land use enterprises; reduce downtime of vehicles and the
total logistic costs; layoffs from unproductive handling and storage
operations, and so on. d. Maintaining the quality of products to further its
intended use.
Supply coordination:
Transport is part of the economic activity, which is
associated with an increase in the degree of satisfaction of people and
businesses by changing the geographical location of goods and people. Transport
- means of satisfying needs through transportation of goods and passengers.
Transportation - one of the key logistics functions associated with moving
goods vehicle on a particular technology in the supply chain, consisting of
logistics operations and functions, including forwarding, cargo handling,
packaging, and transfer of ownership of the goods, risk insurance, customs
proce- dures, and so on. From an
economic point of view, transport is one of the defining elements of the
production process. The production and use of goods, there are two limiting
factors - the time factor and the spatial factor.
The time factor is that the product produced today may only be
required after a cer- tain period. Solve this problem by storing. The content
of the spatial factor is that the producers and consumers of goods are rarely
found in one place, and some distance from each other. Linking production and
consumer, transport allows expanding the boundaries of production. Transport
itself becomes gradually because the spatial factor - the development of
transport and transport technology allows you to build further away from the
production sites of consumption goods. Under market conditions, transport is
always profitable.
Movement of goods - a change of location, subject to the
principle of efficiency. This process should be economically justified, since
the movement of goods spent money, time and environmental resources.
Transportation requires financial re- sources - in the form of internal costs
for transportation of goods own rolling stock, and external costs for this
purpose commercial or public transport. Thus, function defines the main transport
its goal - delivery of goods to their destination as quickly as possible,
cheaper, and with the least damage to the environment. It is also necessary to
minimize the loss and damage of goods transported while fulfilling customer
requirements for timely delivery and to provide information about the goods in
transit.
Storage of goods as a function of the transport takes place in
order to save money on the feasibility of re-handling and unloading (when the
cost of such operations exceed the losses from idle loaded rolling stock)
failure of storage capacity and the need to change the route of cargo. This
increases the residence time of goods in transit. In general, the use of
vehicles for temporary storage is expensive, but it is justified in terms of overall
costs, if transshipment is overhead, if there are no other opportunities for
storage, or if the extension is acceptable delivery times. The main principle
of transport logistics, as well as all the logistics in general, is to optimize
costs.
LIBRARY:
The library is not just a book warehouse anymore. We could
understand a library like a warehouse because it is used such as a home to
delivery and let books to the public but is more than this idea. It also is a
center of destribution books, a library is an intermediary between publishers
and readers. A library has all the logistics aspects of a warehouse: all the
books are in order to find them easily, some people are in charge of the
correct distribution and control of the stocks and clients go there to take the
books. There is a big difference between a library and a ordinal warehouse: in
a general warehouse product enters and leaves to the client but never comes
back again, on the other hand in a library the product and stock do not change
so often because they have the same number of books for a long period.
One example of
Logistics in Healthcare is pharmaceutical sector:
Many basic logistics processes follow the same way: purchases, stocks,
transports and distribute to sale, one time the public decide to buy. The
quantity of stock often have to be more than you expect to sale to prevent
attendance for the customers. The logistic process in the case of some
pharmaceutical enterprise are based on provisioning in the right amount. This
consists on estimate and schedule the products that you think you’ll need
assuming criteria administratives and health technician for their selection.
