Inter company transports:

• means of transport (lorry, plane, ship)

Question 6

System of storage

Answer 6

• Central warehousing:
  + Capacities are well used, easy to keep control, usage of space
• Production facility, where not everything is on one plant side, ways of transportation between warehouse and production facilities are high.

De-central warehousing:

+individual entry for different locations,

Storage forms:

-Ground storage, shelf storage, Storage on/in transport devices

Question 7

System of storage

Answer 7

• Central warehousing:
  + Capacities are well used, easy to keep control, usage of space
• Production facility, where not everything is on one plant side, ways of transportation between warehouse and production facilities are high.

De-central warehousing:

+individual entry for different locations,

Storage forms:

-Ground storage (usually done in Production, flexible, but a lot of space), shelf storage( investments are high) , Storage on/in transport devices (covers the change of characteristics of time and place, often used in production)
