RADIO SCRIPT PROGRAM
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
: In today’s program we present to you Business studies form two on the
topic Warehousing. Welcome and be attentive.
(The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
RADIO Hello students. In our previous lesson we learnt about Transport. Who can
TEACHER: remind us about the essential elements of transport?
Yes Roche.
ROCHE: Thank you mwalimu. In our last lesson we learnt that in order for a
transport system to function efficiently it should have certain basic
elements. These elements are unit(s) of carriage, methods of propulsion,
ways and terminals(terminus).
RADIO Very good Roche. We also learnt about modes of transport. Who can
TEACHER: remind us about them also?
Yes Gabriel.
GABRIEL: We first said that mode refers to the manner in which transport is carried
out. There are three modes of transport namely land transport, water
transport and air transport. We also gave examples of each one of them as
follows:
Land transport: human porterage, carts, vehicles and trains.
Water transport: ships, boats and ferries.
Air transport: aircrafts.
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
:
RADIO Thank you all. That was a nice recap of the previous lesson. Now in
TEACHER: today’s lesson, we shall learn about warehousing. Who can define for us
what a warehouse is?
Yes Mukuva.
MUKUVA: A warehouse is a building or a part of a building where goods are received
and stored until need arises for them.
RADIO True. Other terms used to refer to a warehouse are depot, a go down or a
TEACHER: silo. Someone to define for us what warehousing refers to then. Abuto give
it a try.
ABUTO: Warehousing is the process of receiving goods into a warehouse, protecting
such goods against all types of hazards and releasing them to users when
need arises for them.
RADIO Very true.
TEACHER:
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
:
RADIO Warehousing is important in business for various reasons. What do you
TEACHER: think are these reasons? Yes Gabriel.
GABRIEL: Importance of warehousing to business includes the following:
Steady/continuous flow of goods; This enables producers to produce and
store goods awaiting demand through warehousing e.g., agricultural
products that are produced seasonally are made available throughout the
year
Stability in prices; Warehousing ensures that there is no surplus or
shortage of goods. It ensures that goods are stored when in plenty and
released to the market as their need arises. This helps to keep their prices
fairly stable
Security; Warehousing ensures that goods are protected against physical
damage and adverse weather conditions. This also ensures that the quality
of the goods is maintained until they are demanded. Goods are also
protected from loss through pilferage and theft.
Continuous/uninterrupted production schedules; Manufactures are able to
buy raw materials in large quantities and store them awaiting their need to
arise. This prevents interruption of the production process because of lack
of raw materials.
RADIO That’s correct. Yes Abuto, you want to add something, go ahead.
TEACHER:
ABUTO: Warehousing also help in the following ways:
Specialization; Warehousing encourages specialization in production and
distribution. Producers concentrate on producing while distributors store
the goods for sale to the customers.
Unexpected demand can be met; The government collects agricultural
goods e.g., cereals and stores them as buffer stocks to be used in times of
disaster or serious shortages.
Clearance of goods; Warehousing helps in clearance of goods i.e., goods
entering the country can be inspected by the customs officials.
Warehousing helps to improve the quality of goods e.g., goods like
tobacco and wine mature with time.
Warehousing enables buyers to inspect the goods before they buy them.
Wholesale warehouses may also operate as showrooms for traders
RADIO Very well. That’s very exhaustive of the importance of warehousing.
TEACHER:
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
:
RADIO Now just like in transport, there are features and resources a warehouse
TECHER: should have in order for it to function effectively. Let’s discuss them.
Yes Roche.
ROCHE: The essential features of a warehouse include:
A warehouse should be located at a suitable place to facilitate receipt and
issue of goods.
A warehouse should have proper buildings which are suitable for
different types of goods to be stored.
A warehouse should be equipped with appropriate facilities for handling
goods such as fork-lifts and also be well equipped with necessary storage
facilities e.g., provision of refrigerated or cold storage for perishable goods
such as meat and fruits.
A warehouse should be linked with good and appropriate transport
system to facilitate movement of goods in and out of the warehouse and
accessibility by customers.
A warehouse should have a good communication network or system for
easy contact with its clients and suppliers.
RADIO Good. Yes Mukuva, do you have a question?
TEACHER:
MUKUVA: What about the space and workers, do they have impacts on the effective
functionality of a warehouse?
RADIO Good question Mukuva. A warehouse should be spacious enough to allow
TEACHER: easy movement and accumulation of goods and personnel. It should also
have well trained and efficient staff/personnel for proper management and
efficient functioning of the warehouse. In addition, there should be a proper
recording system in a warehouse to ensure that all movement of goods is
properly monitored.
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
:
RADIO Finally, what are the various types of warehouses? Yes Mukuva.
TEACHER:
MUKUVA: Warehouses can be broadly classified into three namely:
Private warehouses
Public warehouses
Bonded warehoused
RADIO Good.
TEACHER: Private warehouses are those owned by private individuals/organizations
for the purpose of storing their own goods only. They include wholesaler’s
warehouses, producer’s warehouses and retailer’s warehouses.
Public warehouses are those owned by individuals or organizations who do
business by renting space and those in need of storage facilities to store
goods temporarily.
Bonded warehouses are public warehouses for keeping imported goods
until customs duties have been paid against them. They are mainly located
at the points through which goods enter a country.
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
:
RADIO We have come to the end of our today’s lesson. Now who can remind us on
TEACHER: what we have learnt today? Yes Roche.
ROCHE: Thank you mwalimu. From today’s lesson, we have defined warehousing
as the process of receiving goods into a warehouse, protecting such goods
against all types of hazards and releasing them to users when need arises
for them. We also looked at the importance of warehousing to the business,
one of them being that warehousing helps in clearance of goods i.e., goods
entering the country can be inspected by the customs officials.
RADIO Very well Roche. Yes Abuto.
TEACHER:
ABUTO: We also learnt that there are features and resources a warehouse should
have in order for it to function effectively. These being;
Ideal location.
Proper building.
Accessibility.
Safety and security.
Communication.
Qualified personnel.
RADIO That’s good Abuto. Yes Gabriel.
TEACHER:
GABRIEL: We ended the lesson by briefly discussing the various types of warehouses.
RADIO Excellent.
TEACHER: In our next lesson we shall discuss the various features of the different
types of warehouses, their advantages and disadvantages. We shall also
look at what are the current trends and emerging issues in warehousing.
ANNOUNCER (The announcer plays a ten seconds music and fades away).
