Abstract
A warehouse is defined as a “structural unit with all resources and organizational provisions necessary for the execution of processes connected to inventory and warehouse management, including the organizational units involved with goods receipt and shipping” (Pfohl 2004, pp. 124–146). Unlike this subjective description, the proverbial saying “The best warehouse is no warehouse” implies an evaluation: It characterizes a warehouse and warehousing as something negative, to be avoided wherever possible.
