Details of a warehouse costs structure can vary, but the main items remain generally the same.
Whether it an owned or subcontracted warehouse, we always find the following items: - Manpower
- Renting
- Investment
- Services & others
- Coefficients : Structure and Margin
To turn investments to an annual cost, we just need to estimate the invested material’s cost depreciation period in years and to divide its purchase price by this value.
Generally, we can take: - Buildings: 20 years
- Warehouse equipment: 5 years
- Offices equipment: 3 years
- Information systems (devices): 3 years
- Information systems (wiring): 5 years
