Communication is the process of exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, or feelings between individuals or groups through verbal or non-verbal means.
Types of communication include verbal communication (spoken or written words), non-verbal communication (body language, gestures, facial expressions), visual communication (charts, graphs, maps), and digital communication (emails, text messages, social media).
Warehousing is the process of storing goods and products in a designated location until they are needed for distribution or sale.
Types of warehousing include public warehouses (owned and operated by third-party logistics providers), private warehouses (owned and operated by a company for their own use), and bonded warehouses (used for storing goods that are under customs control).
Functions of warehousing include storage (keeping goods safe and secure), consolidation (combining smaller shipments into larger ones), break-bulk (dividing larger shipments into smaller ones), cross-docking (transferring goods directly from inbound to outbound trucks), and value-added services (such as labeling, packaging, or assembly).
