  • delivery times of goods and shipments (so company could apply the principle of Just In Time),
  • points of delivery of materials and storage duration,
  • storage space available,
  • equipment and facilities for the storage and transportation available in the warehouse,
  • organizational structure of company,
  • employment structure,
  • IT systems which control the movement of goods through the warehouse,
