Movement Warehouse. Receiving, putting away Picking, staging, loading Cross-docking Packaging Light assembly, blending, kitting *Kits are how some manufacturers sell parts. By selling the parts in a kit, the manufacturer gains economies of scale in things like transportation costs. It also saves administrative costs because rather than billing for and keeping track of each part, the manufacturer only has to keep track of the kit. Kitting is also a light manufacturing technique in which assembly workers, sometimes in a warehouse, get all the component parts of what they are assembling in a single kit so that time is not lost looking for parts.
