What is the difference between a warehouse and a factory?
Warehouses are primarily for storage and distribution and need to have a high roof line for pallet racking and other storage (6 metres minimum) and good access for large vehicles carrying containers. Factories are for manufacturing and are less reliant on height depending on the manufacturing industry involved. These premises would perhaps need to be in close proximity to public transport to cater for employees.
My personal opinion is that a factory has manufacturing capabilities and is mostly housing for working and operating machinery or whatever other production lines you might find in the industrial world. I’m pretty sure you can use a warehouse for the same thing, but mostly the warehouse is meant for storage and is more of an empty canvas for a use that has yet to be determined – i.e. no actual activity going on there.
The cross-docking process (also known as X-docking) is not suitable for every warehouse. Therefore, it is important to make an informed decision about whether cross-docking can improve your company’s productivity, costs and customer satisfaction. Cross-docking can improve the supply chain for a variety of specific products.
Hello. The question arose, where to store things when it is not possible to leave her at home? And then with the advent of the child, there was less space in the house. Therefore, we decided to rent storage space in Singapore. By the look and reviews, I liked the Cubbiq service. I want to start working with them. Has anyone used them before?
