•Warehouses can also be used to postpone, or delay production by performing processing and light manufacturing activities.
•A warehouse with packaging and labelling capability allows postponement of final production until actual demand is known.
¨For example, vegetables can be processed and canned at the manufacturer’s end without pre-attached labels. No pre-attached labels means the product does not have to be committed to a specific customer. Once a specific customer order is received, the warehouse can complete final processing by adding label and finalizing the packaging.
