•The logistical activities carried out in warehouse are sorting, sequencing, order selection, transport consolidation and sometimes product modification and assembly.
•Within the warehouse, products must be received, moved, sorted, and assembled to meet customer order requirements and for these activities material handling becomes significant.
•Products packed in cans, bottles or boxes are handled more efficiently when combined into larger units such as Master Cartons.
