There are many methods of storing products in a warehouse, from simple floor stacking to highly sophisticated, computerised crane stores. Whatever the system you choose to operate there are six key requirements that any storage system needs:

• Access – it is no good having stock that cannot be easily and quickly retrieved
• Safety – for inventory and staff reasons all storage systems must operate safely
• Product Format – will you be using palletised storage, packaged, bin or bulk materials. There may be situations where it is mixed formats
• Capacities – what height can you operate to and what load bearing is required
• Delivery and Removal – how are the products delivered to the storage area and is work required on them before they are despatched
• Stock Control – what type of stock control or Warehouse Management System is to be used. How will data be collected
