Supply Chain Management Problem: How Do Companies Overcome Warehouse Management Challenges in Supply Chain? Warehouses exist in constantly changing environments in global supply chains and face a number of challenges. Retail footprints are shrinking as more consumers opt to purchase online. For warehouses, that means shouldering a larger storage burden to compensate for the shift from brick-and-mortar shopping to e-commerce. This creates a need across many companies for scalable solutions that don’t require a substantial capital investment but can ideally integrate with a warehouse’s existing infrastructure and layout. Common shortfalls or bottlenecks faced are irregular demand, inaccurate inventories, manual operations, poor facility layout, and redundant processes that lead to additional costs or losses to an organization. For the aforementioned reasons above, warehouses, and the supply chain as a whole, need to move into a more integrated approach that supports transparency and visibility, for the warehouse, its logistics partners (3PL) and consumers. Adopting concepts such as multi-modal optimization, automated capacity management, IOT, and on-demand warehousing will be crucial for organization’s success of end-to-end supply chain visibility. Therefore, in this paper i seek to highlight incorporation of methodologies that will enable solutions to barriers faced real-time by warehouse managers.
