Authors | Concept |

Mubarik et al. [13] | Warehousing plays an integrative role in the supply chain as it is the link between production, the market, suppliers, customers, and the overall business environment. |
Mohamed et al. [14] | Storage plays an important role in modern supply chains. It is the coordinating node of the material flow between the services of the company. It is also a coordinating node between suppliers and customers. |
Dragomirov [15] | Warehouses are an integral part of any efficient logistics system. Through their integration, issues related to the movement of material flows in the supply chain, from the supplier to the consumer, are addressed. |
Karim et al. [16] | The role of the warehouse in the supply chain is very important, as it is used during production to store products until they are delivered to consumers on demand. In today’s highly competitive business environment, a warehouse is not just a storage space for products; the warehouse also manages and provides value-added services. |
Kibria et al. [17] | Storage is a mandatory part of any existing distribution network designed for the long-term storage of goods: raw materials, technological materials, packaging materials, or finished products related to production. Storage provides the usefulness of time and space for any product. |
Kudelska and Pawłowski [18] | Warehouses are important points in every business and supply chain. |
Kudelska and Niedbał [19] | Today, almost every company has its own warehouse or rents it out. Modern warehouses, therefore, play an important role in production and service networks. Today’s warehouses should be described as the implementation of rapid warehousing processes between the collection and issuance stages. |
Škerlič et al. [20] | Warehousing is one of the activities that require many systems to ensure security and the quality of work processes, as errors can occur during warehousing operations. |
Škerlič and Muha [21] | Warehousing is a labor-intensive process: warehouse operators must use different working methods and equipment and move constantly. |
Mostafa et al. [22] | Warehouses are a key part of the supply chain. They are used to store products and manage inventory levels. |
Čolaković et al. [23] | Warehouses are premises used to store goods, the main task of which is to ensure their security, value, and quality. A warehouse is a complex environment that uses a variety of processes and operations to perform acquisition, storage, and issuance. |
Chiang et al. [24] | Because every link in the supply chain must maintain very high efficiencies, warehousing is an integral part of the supply chain. Warehousing activities include receiving, placing, internal replenishment, order picking, sorting, packing, and shipping. |
Dieu Ho et al. [25] | Warehouses provide significant added value by providing a competitive advantage, supporting business growth and efficiency throughout the supply chain. |
Freitas et al. [26] | A warehouse can be defined as a material handling station for the reception, storage, and preparation for dispatch of raw materials, semi-finished or finished products. The role of warehouses in modern logistics is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid growth of e-commerce transactions, the reduction of desired inventory, and rapid response to customer requests. |
Singh et al. [27] | Warehouses are a very important part of the supply chain in local or international markets. Warehouse location determines speed and efficiency in the supply chain. The warehouse is a large building that stores raw materials and manufactured products before they are sent to customers. |
Kusrini et al. [28] | Warehousing activities depend on the variety and number of goods, the daily workload, and the diversity of processes required to meet the needs of customers and suppliers. The warehouse activities are divided into five activities: receiving, postponing, storing, collecting, and shipping orders. |
Prananingtyasa and Zulaekhah [29] | Various studies have confirmed the important role of warehousing as a basis for the supply chain management. |
Olaku et al. [30] | Warehousing is part of the company’s logistics function, which is responsible for warehousing and inventory management, from the receipt of goods to the dispatch process. |
Rahman and Saifudin [31] | A warehouse is an important element of logistics operations as it contributes to supply chain performance and management costs. |
Appiah et al. [32] | Warehouses play a key role in creating added value in the service supply chain. Warehousing involves the performance of administrative and physical functions related to the storage of goods and materials. |
Karim et al. [33] | A warehouse is more than a place to store. The goals of warehouse management are to increase productivity, reduce inventory levels, and maintain good customer service. |
Dragomirov [15] | Warehousing is a purposeful stocking activity that ensures the regular flow of production processes. |
Habazin et al. [34] | Storage means picking up, handling, transporting, loading, unloading, packing, handling, and shipping. |
Garmash et al. [35] | Warehouse logistics is an essential part of a company’s operations and occupies a large part of it. Warehouses provide warehousing, processing, and distribution services between producers and end users. The warehouse is considered an integrated component in the logistics chain that allows a high level of profitability to be achieved. |
Putra et al. [36] | A warehouse is an area that performs the function of storing materials or manufactured goods over a period. |
