Warehouse

The primary task of Logistics unit is to manage the finished product and the incoming raw materials at S.P.L. Industries.

Once the materials have been unloaded, specific controls are carried out at the incoming acceptance, checking through a weighbridge of 800 q the correspondence with the weight declared on the transport note. Then, the materials are identified and stored in specific storage areas; in parallel, they are registered in the company computer system.

As regards the delivery of finished products the head of Logistics interacts with the Client and the hauliers to arrange the delivery at best, on a just-in-time basis.

The Logistics unit also deals with the storage of finished products following the FIFO (First In, First Out) method and manages a warehouse of about 3000 sq. m, supplied by °2 bridge cranes of 20 and 10 tons and by n°4 forklifts.

The finished product warehouse has n° 4 load/unload hangars which allow us to manage a daily average of around 18-20 vehicles (entry and/or exit), while loading and unloading are entirely overseen by Logistics.

S.P.L. Industries also has 10000 sq. m. of courtyards which are used in part to store the empty containers whose handling is managed by Logistics staff as well, according to the needs of Production department.

Logistics unit, as well as the other departments, is currently working on the application of the criterions of the new IATF 16949 certification, with the aim to make its own growing activity smoother.
