Abstract

Warehousing is an essential logistics activity that has a particularly strong impact on the movement of material flows in the supply chain. That is why in modern business concepts warehouses are an important part of efficient logistics systems. Warehousing management is a complex problem that requires economics and technical knowledge. Based on this, a number of related specifics for the management of these systems could be found in theory and practice. The article presents the results of a survey focused on Bulgarian trade and manufacturing enterprises and reveals some of the warehousing management practices. The scope of the study does not include logistics service providers. Several problems that have an important role in warehousing management are considered as an article focus, such as the characteristics of material flows, main challenges for warehousing systems, degree of integration of warehousing processes, application of quality management and controlling practices, human resources management, sustainable storage practices and usage of information systems and technologies in warehousing. Based on the research data, several conclusions are defined about the practices in warehousing in Bulgaria.
