however with some commodities the warehouse manager and his staff have to be qualified and trained to manage these material safely i.e dangerous goods the trends and methodologies of managing warehouses have slightly changed over the past decades presenting in new WMS and concept other than just the FIFO and LIFO in some industries such as the FMCG and the fact remains with an experienced warehouse manager you can still manage different warehouses of different goods.

This is possible for sure, but it requires understanding the nature and storage circumstances and conditions of each stored product, and also, it is very important to know the sales figures of each product, in order to avoid lack of any product or the stagnant of it.
Coordinating this sales department is very critical and is not less important than studying the product nature and characteristics.
