“LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT IN VRL LOGISTICS LTD VARUR” Warehousing is an integral part of every logistics system. Warehousing plays a vital role in providing a desired level of customer service at the lowest possible total cost. Warehousing activity is an important link between the producer and the customer. Over the years, warehousing has developed from a relatively minor facet of a firm’s logistics system to one of its most important functions. We can define warehousing as that part of a firm’s logistics system that stores products (raw materials, parts, goods-in-process, finished goods) at and between point of origin and point of consumption, and provides information to management on the status, condition, and disposition of items being stored. Warehouses at VRL Logistics Limited Transhipment hub act as a ware house.
