Lagerplass

Lagerplass refers to storage space for goods, used in logistics, warehousing, and distribution. It denotes both the physical area available for storing items and the capacity of a facility to hold inventory. Lagerplass may be found in warehouse halls, distribution centers, retail storage, and manufacturing sites. It is equipped with shelves, pallets, racking, and temperature-controlled rooms, and can be arranged for different kinds of products. Capacity is commonly measured in square meters and cubic meters, with pallet positions and rack levels serving as practical units of reference.

The design and management of lagerplass aim to maximize storage density and ensure efficient material flow. Key considerations include the layout and zoning, accessibility for picking and loading, and integration with inventory control systems. Safety requirements, fire protection, ventilation, and climatic control are important, especially for perishable goods or sensitive items. Inventory strategies such as FIFO or LIFO, batch tracking, and cycle counting influence how space is used.

Economically, lagerplass represents a major cost and a critical factor in service levels. Allocation of space, rental costs, depreciation of equipment, and labor for handling affect overall logistics performance. Organizations may own their facilities or lease, and may outsource to third-party logistics providers to scale capacity.
