Logistics is the management of materials, production processes and the physical distribution of products in the control of the entire operational cycle of the company expressed both in the form of physical flow and information flow, with the participation of both internal and external actors, who are part of a single supply chain. The goal is to control performance with quantitative and qualitative methods to ensure a high level of customer service, providing products quickly, at low cost and of high quality. The methods used by logistics have the characteristic of guaranteeing an adequate level of integration and flexibility of activities and processes; it is thanks to an efficient collaboration between all the management areas of the system that the company can achieve what it has set itself. In this brief introduction we have seen how logistics is a complex discipline, full of facets and with vast arguments; given the extent of the subject, it is impossible to consider every single aspect and every single part 10 that make it up, so it was decided to treat the aspect that is most physically controllable: the warehouse area. Storage activities, in fact, can be defined as the real beating heart of the whole organization. From the warehouse, the products are prepared and shipped, the main data are obtained which indicate the company's performance and establish the quantities to be produced and the materials to be ordered; in the warehouse the goods are temporarily deposited.
