The primary benefit of using a central storage warehouse for all components rather than point-of-use storage is the ease of control and count accuracy. Central storage allows for more efficient inventory management, as all components are stored in a single, controlled location. This centralization simplifies inventory tracking, reduces errors, and improves count accuracy because inventory can be managed and monitored consistently. Additionally, central storage can facilitate better inventory optimization and forecasting.
