Introduction In the investment path, commodity futures trading is a rapidly growing industry with many undeveloped potential financial markets. The main difference between products and financial markets is that in commodity futures, physical delivery is done in the capital market, not in the capital market. In these markets there are farmers, producers, warehouses, consumers, distributors, and traders who buy and sell goods. There are warehouses, storage areas for products, consumers, and eventually consume them.
Because few warehouses meet the market demand, integrated warehouse access to most consumer groups is important. Furthermore, in order to balance the distance between these warehouses and the market, the effective option is to ship goods directly from the main storage location to the end customer (Westminster's customer portfolio and customer service). However, some companies have succeeded in achieving rapid product delivery while minimizing transportation costs. Stora Enso is a good example of this type of company. Strengthening control over the supply chain, mainly due to integration, improved customer service level, and timely delivery of goods
The purpose of this article is to explain how the warehouse plays a role in the postponement strategy. First, we will briefly introduce the functions of the warehouse. Next, I will explain the concept of delay strategy, different types of delay, and the purpose of delay. In this article, we will present some case studies on the role of warehouse in postponement. This white paper summarizes the warehouse's influence and increased role and takes on more value-added processing tasks. The function of the warehouse is increasingly focused on the advantages of storage and trading. From a small aspect of the logistics system, we evolved to perform two important time and location functions essential to the success of the supply chain.
The warehouse plays a central role in the postponement strategy. Delay strategy is the principle of supply chain management. This strategy reduces capital investment by managing the production and storage of finished products. Therefore, this strategy can be used to provide satisfactory service to customers. (Jespersen and Skjott-Larsen 2005, p. 58) can determine various types of expansion strategies. These types are delayed production, delayed distribution, and complete expansion. In the production postponement strategy, product customization is delayed until customer's order is placed. This gives you flexibility because you can store common products and customize them according to the specific needs of that area. In other words, the warehouse does not store the specific products required for a specific area. In contrast, products with general specifications are produced and stored in warehouses.
