Introduction
This section provides audit checklists for a warehouse and its operations.
These lists are not exhaustive and can be added to by the user to mirror their
own operations.
Audits should be undertaken by an independent person either from within
the company or an outside consultant.
The purpose of the audit should be explained to the staff and a timescale
agreed.
Results need to be shared with all the staff and staff need to take ownership
of the results and the improvements necessary.
The audits which are concerned with the internal processes are based on
what the authors see as best practice in a warehouse.
