How to choose spare parts warehouse and what are the challenges?

The better and easy way is to discuss with Warehouse Contractor, they are well aware about market change. Every Industry is changing day by day very speedily, to coup with market change it is better to deal with market expert in that industry.

There are several Contractor who are successfully making  warehouses as per modern trend, I think you can achieve more details from those Contractors to choose the warehouse and present challenges. It will help you for time & money benefits.

Every vehicle manufacturer knows the importance of aftermarket service. Dealers demand overnight – if not same day – delivery; a vehicle off the road means not only an unhappy dealer, but a consumer who might well choose a different manufacturer the next time they replace their vehicle.

To provide the necessary quality of aftermarket service, carmakers need to have a well-organised and managed warehouse with the right amount of inventory in the right place at all times – and it takes a tremendous amount of thought, analysis, planning and care to create and maintain the optimum facility. BMW served as a recent reminder of just how costly glitches in spare parts supply can be, when an error in its central warehouse in Germany made it necessary to fly parts across the world.

In addition to the answers, I would add that you should have a list of parts suppliers or previous records on how the company is being supplied. Therefore:

1. Prepare a list of potential providers

2. Search market

3. Contact sales managers
