Answer 1

Warehousing is the process of keeping products in a systematic and orderly manner to preserve their worth and quality. Warehouses provide not only storage but also logistical services by locating the appropriate quantity in the right place at the right time and the right price. Warehouses store all products, holding minimum records and principally high-demand items. Warehouses handle furthermost products in four cycles namely receive, store, ship, and pick. The type of warehouses include distribution centers, pick, pack, and ship warehouse, 

smart warehouses, cold storage, on-demand storage, and bonded warehouse. The primary task for packaging is to minimize the damage that could occur after an item has left the production line. In the warehouse, the item is subject to a variety of situations where damage could occur. The roles of packaging are to protect the contents from the elements, allow for the ease of transportation, provide information, add convenience in stocking, marketing and communicate the value of the product, security of the product to keep the consumer safe, and finally, environmental responsibility. Thus, forklifts can drop materials, they can fall from conveyor belts, or fall from broken pallets.
