Abstract

This paper is purported to highlight issues on warehouse operational challenges that profoundly will hinder supply chain warehouse performance. Furthermore, warehouse management through inventory control is vital for every firm and its supply chain. This study focuses on several shortcomings in warehouse operation across the supply chain such as lack of a centralized inventory hub, difficulty in managing inventory waste & defects, keeping up with the stocks, the difficulty in identifying incorrectly located materials, tracking of obsolete materials, the inefficient inventory management process, and the limited visibility to inventory issue. This study looks into various warehouse challenges published in the warehouse literature. The warehousing operational challenges in this paper cover the issues of inventory and supply chain. While this study was limited in scope to one single issue which is the warehouse operational challenges within the scope of literature, solutions, or recommendations to mitigate the challenges can be drawn from this study. Solutions such as implementing a real-time inventory management system, stock auditing system, and Modern inventory management software are ideal.
