On-site warehouse : The on-site warehouse can either be at some centralized location or can be separately situated at different manufacturing facilities.Off-site warehouse : The off-site warehouses are the storage facilities that are located closely to the marketing areas and are used for storing on-site inventory. These warehouses also serve as distribution center for finished goods.Advantages:

Hello Team,

Four Categories of Warehouse Costs

1. Handling. All expenses associated with moving product in or out of the warehouse should be included in the handling cost center. The largest component is the labor used to handle the product that moves through the distribution center. It includes receiving, put-away, order selection, and loading. It also may include labor to re-warehouse, repackage, or refurbish damaged product. Handling also includes all costs associated with the equipment used to handle product in the warehouse, such as the depreciation of equipment cost, and the cost of fuel, or electricity to power the equipment. Other handling expenses are the detention of truck or rail cars, operating supplies, and trash disposal. In effect, handling includes all those costs that are associated with “goods in motion.”

2. Storage. Storage expenses are costs associated with “goods at rest.” These costs would be incurred whether or not any product ever moved. Because storage expenses are related to the cost of occupying a facility, and these costs are normally accumulated each month, storage is expressed as a monthly cost. If an entire building is dedicated to an operation, storage expenses are the total occupancy cost for that facility.

3. Operations administration. These expenses are incurred to support the operation of the distribution center. Closing the facility would eliminate these costs. Included are costs for line supervision, clerical effort, information technology, supplies, insurance, and taxes.

4. General administrative expenses. Expenses not incurred for a specific distribution center are included in this category. General management, non-operating staff, and general office expenses are examples. Allocation of such expenses to each warehouse is a judgment call. Productivity Improvement Most warehousing costs, particularly storage and handling, can be influenced by improvements in productivity. Improved methods and equipment may enable the operator to increase the number of units moved without increasing labor, resulting in a higher number of units handled per hour. Changes in inventory, storage layout or equipment may enable the operator to expand the number of units stored in the same number of cubic feet of storage space.

The Risk Factor Cost per unit is escalated when a distribution center is not fully utilized. Fixed costs always will be influenced by the rate of utilization.
