WAREHOUSE KEEPS THE MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS IN A LARGE AMOUNT, AT THE SAME TIME PRODUCTS ARE KEPT AS PER DEMAND IN DISTRIBUTION CENTER, FROM WHERE PRODUCTS WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO CUSTOMERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
GENERALLY WAREHOUSE MEANS ONLY KEEPING CENTER AND DISTRIBUTION CENTER MEANS SUPPLY CENTER
A warehouse is especially designed to accommodate long-term storage of goods which may include raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing, or commerce. A distribution center, like a warehouse, is a principal part as well as the order processing element, of the entire order fulfillment process. Distribution centers are usually thought of as being demand driven. Distribution centers are set up to distribute goods, with a shorter storage time (about a week or so). Products and supplies in distribution centers constantly move from being received, used to fill orders and shipped out as new products arrive.
