Learning Outcomes
1.Students will be able to evaluate the role, primary objectives, and cost impacts of warehousing within the supply chain and logistics processes from an academic perspective.
2.Students will be able to determine appropriate warehouse classes (private, rented, customs, yard, etc.) based on the physical and chemical properties of the materials to be stored and conduct investment planning.
3.Students will be able to compare and optimize racked, rackless, and fully automated storage systems based on volume, accessibility, and space efficiency criteria.
4.Students will be able to select the correct handling equipment and packaging units to accelerate in-facility material flow and minimize occupational accidents.
5.Students will be able to systematically design core and supportive warehouse operational processes such as receiving, putaway, order picking, cross-docking, shipping, and return processing.
