Inventory Control is the position of overseeing barcoding, sorting, and organizing of goods in a warehouse. Inventory Management is a step above that. Warehouses can get cluttered, disorganized, and unsorted with the influx of shipping and receiving. Inventory Management is there to help ease the tension by working with the source. By tracking the purchase orders being made, Inventory Management can prepare the warehouse with instructions where to sort and place goods. Knowing the number of pallets and shelving space keeps aisles from getting over crowded. Also, keeping an eye on cycling inventory is essential to avoid expired goods leaving the warehouse. Inventory Management is also important in determining the balance of goods because both overstocking and understocking can lead to loss of revenue.

As we all know that supply chain is a monumental aspect of production and business worldwide. Under the supply chain category there is a massive umbrella in which all aspect of operation takes place and is conducted. With one major category in supply is Warehouse Operation.
The name itself can give us an idea of what we can expect when trying to decipher this term, but we can take a brief detail at what a day-to-day warehouse operation consists of. Supplying material and product to a compony or customers is just one part of the operation, but storage and having the inventory at the ready to meet the end customer`s need, is another important factor of well management and customer satisfaction. Warehouse operation must consist of storage, inventory, supply readiness, and the availability to transport goods when needed, as well as receiving inventory.
With all that, operation must take accountability in ensuring the safety of the product and the staff that are within the warehouse, storage facility, rooms or anywhere the company decides to house their products. Depending on the company and products being stored, regulation and many safety protocols must be ensured. Environment, Health and Safety regulation are a major factor when it comes to warehouse operation. The proper overhead must be in place for the product and the adequate transportation within the warehouse for the employees and for transporting goods to other location must be considered.
There is so much you can dissect when it comes to Warehouse Operation. That is even before you move or store your very first piece of product! Not to mention any government clearance or regulation you need to obey or any state, city and county codes that needed to be cleared. There is so many moving pieces, for your stationary products that can cause a domino effect if not performed correctly from the very beginning.
