Introduction
Staging is a controlled, temporary holding process where raw materials are placed after receiving and before they are either stored or issued to production. It acts as a buffer zone between inbound handling and downstream warehouse or manufacturing activities.
Purpose of Staging
Staging ensures that raw materials:
Are verified and inspected before use
Match purchase orders and specifications
Are available at the right time for production
Do not disrupt warehouse flow or production schedules
