Summary:

The movements of multiple components from one location to a destination is referred to as inbound logistics. It is a set of processes that include the transporting, receiving, and storing of raw materials and components needed for production, storage, or outbound shipment. The idea of being responsible for the large amounts of goods that are needed for the manufacturing process can be complex and daunting for the supply chain manager. Imagine you are the supply chain manager at a global bike manufacturing firm located in China called EaziBikes. You are tasked with acquiring, transporting, and receiving multiple components from different locations to build a well-known and widely requested bicycle at a manufacturing site in China. You must determine the best way within the inbound logistics process to Move the products from one location to another. Receive the products at the manufacturing destination. Store the products at the warehouse or manufacturing destination while taking inventory count of what has been received and where it should be stored. Manage a detailed tracking system to locate products as they are stored. Use tracking systems to find products as they are ordered by your customers. Product and information flow in and out of the warehouse requires strategy and planning activities to maintain efficient customer order fulfilment. The inbound flow should be organized before receiving any shipments to improve order delivery, labor productivity, and customer satisfaction. The inbound logistics team should be well trained and able to accurately evaluate incoming shipments from the transportation point up until the products are ordered by the customer. Problems in matching the incoming shipment's information with vendor or supplier documentation and the purchase order can lead to storage and order fulfillment problems. Proper coordination of moving, receiving, storing, tracking, and controlling the products that arrive at the warehouse loading docks is very important. Managers and planners of information and product flow into the warehouse are critical assets for a manufacturing firm.
