You are a co-owner of a fast-growing start-up organisation. Based on your experience in the industry, you have been asked to design a warehouse and consider the necessary inclusions (i.e., internal processes and mode of operating) for the facility.

Prepare a written proposal for your fellow owners that includes:

• The theories and principles that influenced your ‘design’,
• The emerging trends you will cater for and why, and
• The internal processes and technologies included considering how the warehouse/DC will operate. Processes should be considered from the point of inventory arriving at the facility to the loading of a truck for delivery. Choose one of the following to base your proposal on:
• An online distributor of top-end brand name sports clothing, shoes and accessories, or
• A wholesale distributor of food products: include a description of the types of foods you have chosen, or
• An online electronics retailer
