This floor plan example was drawn on the base of slide 27 "Warehouse Layout Floor Plan" of the presentation "Operations Management. Layout Strategy. Chapter 9" from the website of the School of Business Administration at Portland State University. [sba.pdx.edu/ faculty/ karlt/ Ch9/ sld027.htm]
"A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in the material handling and packaging industries. Many kinds of conveying systems are available, and are used according to the various needs of different industries. There are chain conveyors (floor and overhead) as well. Chain conveyors consist of enclosed tracks, I-Beam, towline, power & free, and hand pushed trolleys." [Conveyor system. Wikipedia]
The floor plan example "Warehouse with conveyor system" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Plant Layout Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"Preventing Theft from Warehouses.
The biggest threat to warehouses is collusion between two dishonest people - one inside the warehouse who is employed by you, and another person outside. Your warehouse is vulnerable in different ways at each step of the handling of merchandise. Below, we've broken this process down into three major steps: receiving, storage, and shipping." [crimeprevention.rutgers.edu/ crime/ emp_ theft/ warehouses/ warehouses.htm]
"Storage.
The trucks have been unloaded and everything put away on the shelves in the warehouse. Now your merchandise is even more vulnerable to thieves than before.
There are two main elements of a good security plan:
1) Keep people out of areas where they don't belong...
2) Keep track of what goods are supposed to be in your warehouse" [crimeprevention.rutgers.edu/ crime/ emp_ theft/ warehouses/ storage/ storage.htm]

"A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns and villages. They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Stored goods can include any raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing and production." [Warehouse. Wikipedia]

Flowchart design. Flowchart symbols, shapes, stencils and icons

A flowchart is a type of diagram which represents an algorithm, process or workflow, displays the steps as boxes of various kinds and depicts their order by connecting them with arrows. Any business graphic document will be more colorful and understandable if will use professional-looking and visual diagrams and flowcharts. Flowchart design gives versatile presenting and explaining of the process. ConceptDraw PRO flowchart software enhanced with Flowcharts solution helps effectively make Flowchart Design. Use of predesigned flowchart symbols and bright color palette offers a fresh view and favorably distinguishes the flowcharts designed in ConceptDraw PRO from the black and white flowcharts on a paper. Preferably to use no more than three or four colors and apply identical for the same shape types. The best flowchart design can be achieved by starting with Flowchart template, or any of suitable ready examples or samples offered in ConceptDraw STORE, open one of them and enter the proper text into each Flowchart shape. Each symbol of the flowchart has a definition that can't be changed. This means that all flowcharts shapes can be grouped in according to their meaning. Users with ConceptDraw PRO flowchart software can style groups of symbols with close definitions by color sets chosen from complementary palette. Almost all workflows can be depicted as a flowchart. Colored diagrams are more light for perception of the certain information, this is part of flowchart design. Bright colors need to be used in the key points of Decision symbols, to focus attention on their importance for whole process flow.
