RATE
The rate at which customer orders can be filled from
existing inventory within the parameters of the order
request. For example, if a customer places an order for
10 units of a product, but the current inventory only
allows for the immediate shipping of 7 units. The fill
rate is 70%. A higher fill rate is usually equated to
higher customer satisfaction.

12. SUMMARY
Warehouse is an integral part of the supply
chain as well as consumer
It is not just a Warehouse, It is a strategic tool
in the material management process
It provides several value added services that
enable good customer service leading to an
improved customer satisfaction
13. What is Logistics?
For an example, in day to day we do transportation. Finished goods Inventory move from place to
place. For example we want to dispatch finished goods items to Riyadh or Jeddah . What do we do?
We arrange the container or trailer, Man power and materials handling equipment ,well in advance.
Finished goods items Move from our warehouse to container or trailer. Then, Finished goods items
will reach to Riyadh.
For which we need to do lot of planning. Like arrange Container or trailer well in advance, arrange
man power, Materials handling equipment etc. All these activities are called planning activities.
When we incorporate the planning activity into transportation, this will become logistics.
So when we are into logistics, we do a little bit of management activity. That is called the
Logistics Management. The definition of Logistics Management-It is the process of
planning, implementing, controlling.
14. Effective flow of goods, services, information from the point of origin to the point of
consumption and it will be with respect to two people. One the service provider,
another one service utilizing person, that means our customer. So for a service
provider it should be efficient. For a customer it should be effective.
Assuming I am a service provider, meaning that I need to do the activity very
efficiently. Then only my customer will use my service effectively. So the process of
planning, implementing, controlling. Effective flow of goods, services, related
information from the point of origin to the point of consumption, efficient and effective.
Above all the purpose of transportation or logistics to satisfy our customer’s
requirement. So what is that we are trying to do in the whole process? We take the non-
value added activity of our customer, convert into a value added activity give it back to
them by way of domestic logistics or international logistics. Or domestic transportation
or international transportation.

24. Cross-docking
Cross docking is a practice in logistics :-
Unloading materials from an incoming vehicle and loading materials directly in to
outbound vehicles with little or no storage in between.
Why Cross Docking
To change type of conveyance
To sort materials intended for different destinations
To combine materials from different origins
Cross Docking LTL Industry
In LTL (Less than Truck Load) Trucking industry cross docking is done by moving
cargo from one transport vehicle directly into another transport vehicle ,with
minimal or no warehousing.
In retail practice, cross docking operations may utilize staging areas where in bound
materials are stored consolidated and stored until the outbound shipment is complete
and ready to ship.
26. When Is Cross Docking Used ?
The process of cross docking will not suit every warehouse’s needs. It is therefore
important to make an informed decision as to whether cross docking will increase
the productivity, costs and customer satisfaction for your specific business.
Cross docking can advance the supply chain for variety of specific products.
Unpreserved or temperature controlled items such as food which need to be
transported quickly can benefit by this process.
Packaged and sorted products ready for transportation to a particular customer
can become a faster and more efficient process through cross docking.
REASONS FOR CROSS DOCKING
Provide central site for products to be stored an similar products combined to be
delivered to multiple destinations in the most productive and fastest method.
Combine numerous smaller product loads into one method of transportation to
create an easier delivery process to the customer.
30. Processing Warehouse
Benefits
Re packing /Labeling can be done at warehouse and shipped only
when the order arrives
First, risk is minimized because final packaging is not completed until
an order for a specific label and package has been received.
Second, re required level of total inventory can be reduced by using
the basic production (Bright) for variety of labeling and packaging
configurations.
Stock pilling
The economic benefit of stock pilling comes from the need of seasonal
storage. Stockpiling provides an inventory Buffer, which allows
production efficiencies within the constraints imposed by materials
sources and the customers.
32. SERVICE BENEFITS OF A WAREHOUSE
Spot Stock Assortment MIXING Production Support Market Presence
Spot Stock
Assortment
Under spot stocking a selected amount of a “company’s product “like is placed
or “Spot Stock” in a warehouse to fill customer orders during a critical
marketing periods.
An assortment warehouse stock product combinations in anticipation of
customer orders
MIXING
When plants geographically separated overall transportation charges and
warehouses requirements can be reduced by mixing
Production
Support
Production support warehousing provides support of components and materials
to assembly plans.
Market
Presence
The market presence factor is based on the perception or belief that local
warehouses can be more responsive to customer needs and offer quicker
delivery than more distant warehouse.
WAREHOUSING FUNCTIONS LIKE :- Consolidation, Break
Bulk, Cross Docking , Deliver economies of scale in storage and
transportation domain resulting in improved delivery performance in
the value chain.
