For a long time, inventory has been respected as an important means of production and consumption guarantee. However, because some companies did not pay enough attention to the management of the warehouse in the early stage of development, it has been difficult to grasp the true amount of inventory, which in turn affected the inventory turnover rate, and some goods formed non-performing assets, which increased corporate costs. It can be seen that warehouses have become one of the obstacles restricting the development of enterprises, and warehouse reforms have been imperative.
