Storage Organization - The Key to Preserving What's Important

By:David Arnold Livingston


Even before the coming of man, animals like the ants
have been doing storage of food and other stuff to cope
with the daily demands of life. Storage is a vital part
of human life. In the Bible, the wisdom-filled Joseph
used storage to escape the problems of famine which
happened for seven years. During the seven years of
fullness and abundance, Joseph suggested to the Pharaoh
to put up stock houses for food to carry on with the
famine.

Storage is also important in our day to day living. Our
refrigerators have stocks of food to be used for our
everyday survival. Storage is of major concerns for big
companies and businesses involved with different
products ranging from the items that will fill up man’s
basic needs to the complex wants that man desires and
longs for.

Storage is done not only by placing in one corner the
items or products to be used later on. There are
several factors to be taken to ensure that the stored
stuff will be in safe condition so people that will
make use of it. In the case of food storage, the place
or the equipment to be used for storage must be free
from any toxins caused by different factors in the
environment ranging from the tiny bacteria and other
microorganisms to big rats, cockroaches and other
insects. Improper food storage can lead to food
poisoning and death.

There are various ways of food storage which can
include canning, freezing and drying. Drying is used to
remove the moisture from the food so as to prevent the
growth of micro-organisms. Freezing is the commonly
used method of food storage and preservation to slow
down spoilage through chemical reaction done by
transforming water into ice or liquid into solid.
Canning is a form of storage which includes the use of
jars and other containers in which food is heated first
to kill or destroy the microorganisms that can mess up
with the food.

Storage areas for other commodities are also a major
concern of businessmen thus they have storage plans to
ensure the safety of their products. The fabricators of
various products must have a secured dry storage area
that can sufficiently be used to stock all the items.
The location and size, together with other vital
factors must be carefully considered to guarantee the
efficiency of storage. The advancements in technology
is a great help in the efficiency of storage since the
different factors involved which may include the
temperature and lighting system can be easily adjusted
to suit the condition of the items and the area.

Stacking of different products is made easier by using
the new racking systems. Aside from organized location,
it can also save spaces for other items or products.
The Flow-through and First In - First Out systems are
the commonly used racking types for storage. The
Flow-through system works by positioning the older ones
in a location that will allow it to be used first. A
First In - First Out storage system is also a variation
of a flow-through though it uses gravity rollers
adjusted at an angle that will provide easier facility
by simply moving the product forward. The brakes on the
rollers control the movements of the items. After which
the products are placed systematically for the next process.
