§Study guidance: warehouse and terminal

The education is about receiving the right goods, storing them, and moving them further in the right quantity, time, and condition. Learn the processes in sequence—receiving, placement, picking, packing, shipping—and understand how data in the warehouse system connects to the physical flow.

Important concepts you should be able to explain

• 01Goods receipt and control against delivery note
• 02FIFO and inventory rotation
• 03Picking methods: order, batch and zone picking
• 04Warehouse Management System (WMS), barcodes and scanning
• 05Counting and cycle counting
• 06Terminal flow and cross-docking
• 07Ergonomics and safe lifting.

Good habits and preparation

• 01Be systematic — catch errors at the ramp, not at the customer's place.
• 02Record movements correctly so the inventory matches.
• 03Use aids and correct lifting technique every time.
• 04Report deviations further instead of hiding them.

Where can you read more

Use the school's teaching material and the company's own job descriptions and quality procedures. Industry and trade organisations in transport and logistics also publish guidance on safety, ergonomics and warehouse processes which you can use as a supplement.
