Useful tips:

Liaise with the freight forwarding agent regarding the port procedures and ask for tips.

Inform HQ and your suppliers regarding the kind of forms, documents they should provide you with prior shipping the cargo/container.

Confirm that containers are all in a proper condition and certified.

Check means of loading cargo on your trucks from containers and the containers themselves.

Final Checklist for Warehousing Needs and Facilities

Done

Comments

1

Determine the current and expected level of stocks (items, weight and volume) and expected storage duration


2

Assess the available warehouses in the affected area(s)


3

Initiate agreements for leasing of warehousing


4

Initiate the recruitment of warehousing staff if necessary


5

Initiate a cargo tracking and inventory management systems


6

Check the availability of temporary storage units (e.g. Rubb halls)



Where can you find information on warehouses?

Following chapters of the LCA: Commercial storage, storage used by humanitarian organizations, public sector storage, cold chain storage.

Logistics Cluster website: Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

Yellow Pages

UN organisations, NGOs and private companies

Major importers and wholesalers (see local supplies market section in LCA)

http://log.logcluster.org/response/warehouse-management/index.html

Useful tips:

In the process of the selection of your warehouse(s), feedback from users will be useful (UN organisations, NGOs and private company).

Consider sharing warehouse space with other NGOs as a cost-saving measure but ensure very clear delineation of space, controls and liabilities

Check the possibilities of finding temporary mobile storage structures (MSU’s)

Check that the cost calculation follows the same methodology between different agents (Metric tons, volume, and surface area) and then compare the prices. (At the end the price should not be the single criteria for selection)

Take pictures while visiting potential warehouses.

Keep in mind that you will probably have the owner giving you a visit and then, trying to “sell” you the place. Pay attention to details.
