IMPACT OF STORAGE AND MATERIAL HANDLING ON STORE EFFICIENCY

INTRODUCTION The primary objective of the store function is to provide service to the operating functions and these services cannot be provided without proper provision of storage facilities. The impact of storage facilities on store efficiency is to ensure that goods regularly required are stored accordingly. Adequate care of materials held within the organization is very important and stores, staff must be well trained in ensuring that materials held within the store are well taken care of storage facilities such as bins, racks, shelves, flat pallets, spillage post, box pallets, stock staking silos, tanks etc. some methods of storage are associated with particular methods of handling and therefore, the task of handling materials or stock and that of storage must be taken together. Therefore provision of materials handling is another essential objective of the store function storage procedure also encompasses store design and store location system, storage
