A) 1) Quantity and character of goods must be known -- product profiling 2) Purpose to be served: storage, distribution, cross-docking? B) 1) use one-story facility 2) use straight line or direct-flow of goods 3) use efficient material handling equipment 4) use effective storage plan 5) minimize aisle space (but do not constrain flow) 6) make maximum use of facility height C) 1) Prioritizes orders 2) Prints pick tickets for best sequence 3) Prints labels for packing operations D) 1) support the customer service objective (ensuring availability) 2) smooth production (covering demand peaks)
3) allow the firm to take advantage of economies in procurement, production, and transportation 4) support form postponement (final assembly)
Hello Team,
The key to designing a warehouse is to design the process being carried out first. A logistics facility is far more than a building and the building should be designed to serve the process and not the other way around. We design logistics facilities all around the world on this basis including in the Middle East. The other critical items are the floor and insulated envelop but all come under the process of Integrated Design

agree with expert answers above
OPtion A will be the answer
It should be A
Quantity and character of goods must be known -- product profiling
Purpose to be served: storage, distribution, cross-docking
Thanks for the invite, I leave the answer to only for the experts specialists in this field
Warehouses, defined here, are facilities that provide a proper environment for the purpose of storing goods and materials that require protection from the elements. Warehouses must be designed to accommodate the loads of the materials to be stored, the associated handling equipment, the receiving and shipping operations and associated trucking, and the needs of the operating personnel. The design of the warehouse space should be planned to best accommodate business service requirements and the products to be stored/handled. The economics of modern commercial warehouses dictate that goods are processed in minimal turnaround time.
The different types of warehouses include:
Special-designed warehouses meeting strict requirements can also provide liquid storage (fuel and nonpropellants), flammable and combustible storage, radioactive material storage, hazardous chemical storage, and ammunition storage.
Features already now common in warehouse designs are higher bays, sophisticated materials-handling equipment, broadband connectivity access, and more distribution networks. A wide range of storage alternatives, picking alternatives, material handling equipment and software exist to meet the physical and operational requirements of the warehouse. Warehouse spaces must also be flexible to accommodate future operations and storage needs as well as mission changes.
Back to top Building AttributesBeing utilitarian facilities, warehouse designers should focus on making the warehouse spaces functional and efficient, while providing a safe and comfortable environment for the workers to increase productivity and control, reduce operating costs, and improve customer service. Even warehouses have to maintain a corporate image and provide for worker satisfaction. Building image and aesthetics, landscaping, and worker safety and comfort, become important issues in competitive real estate markets.
Depending on the program of the warehouse being designed, space types may vary dramatically.

For GSA, the unit costs for this building type are based on the construction quality and design features in the following table (PDF 187 KB, 14 pgs). This information is based on GSA's benchmark interpretation and could be different for other owners.

Examples of natural lighting designs for warehouse structures
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) are reshaping the ways in which goods and services are manufactured, stored, and distributed. AS/RS have become a means to control and immediately report the movement of material, providing a critical link in the chain of information systems that control work-in-process, manufacturing schedules, and distribution. AS/RS warehouses are designed for maximum storage and minimum personnel on site. They are built for lower temperature operation with minimal heat and light needed, but require a tall structure with super level floors.
In the private sector, competition, technology and e-commerce are forcing distributors to look for ways to move larger quantities of their products more quickly and efficiently to the consumer. Clustering distribution centers in a single geographic area is among the new trends. There is also a move towards transportation specialization, such as companies that depend on substantial parcel air transport, locating near Memphis, TN, while Columbus, OH rates higher for companies focused on overland distribution.
Labor availability and technology advances are factors driving many companies to consolidate their distribution systems into fewer but larger, regional facilities. However, not all companies are consolidating their distribution centers: in many areas, the consolidation trend itself is producing a new generation of smaller, local distribution centers. Experts say that new logistical handling systems and greater outsourcing—in particular, the increased use of third-party logistics providers—seem to be driving this trend.
New "flex" warehouses in well landscaped industrial park settings for smaller businesses is a growing trend. These buildings accommodate small businesses such as contractors, light industrial fabricators, and mechanics that do not need exposure to heavy retail street traffic. In older industrial areas, small warehouse buildings with low roofs, no longer suitable for large single commercial users, are being repositioned and renovated as multi-tenant "flex" warehouse buildings.
Forces outside the parameters of the normal building project can generate great changes in warehouse design. Examples include accelerated tax write-offs in the 1980's, which enabled speculative construction of much larger buildings; again 1980's federal regulations to permit much larger over-the-road trucks, which required commensurate changes to site space given over to truck space; local real estate market prices, which often makes it economically attractive for companies to relocate much of their corporate back office space at their regional distribution center; increasingly tighter environmental and permitting processes, which leaves the market to the larger developers, resulting in usually larger projects; and the reclamation of former "brownfields" industrial sites for either new industrial or other uses.
Back to top Relevant Codes and StandardsWarehouses must be designed to meet all local building, fire, and life-safety codes. When in doubt, consult with the local building official. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also provides guidance for warehouse safety.
Several design criteria and guidelines exist for federal warehouses:
