The objective of this study was to identify the basic factors of warehouse efficiency in Heineken brewery. To achieve the objectives of this study descriptive and explanatory research design was used. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey from a total of 70 employees. The determinant of warehouse efficiency data was collected from respondents by using a five-point Likert-scale while the Cronbach alpha was used to check the data for the reliability of measurement scales. To analysis, the determinant of warehouse and warehouse efficiency in the proposed model, Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23 software utilized as the analytical technique of choice. The analysis results of this study indicate that the determinant of the warehouse such as (warehouse location design, inventory location, warehouse management system, and effective communication) has a strong relationship with warehouse efficiency. The findings of the study also indicate that employees were well aware of the basic factors of warehouse efficiency. The results also indicate that, unlike effective communication, the remaining three factors (warehouse location design, inventory location, and warehouse management system) have a relatively more positive and significant effect on warehouse efficiency. The coefficient table depicts that the significant regression coefficients for warehouse location design, inventory location, warehouse management system and effective communication are significant at p=0.05, this significance level tells us variables can significantly predict the analysis of warehouse efficiency. Based on the findings of the study, numerous recommendations listed, including that effective communication should be given higher priority to improve warehouse efficiency, but also since this activity is at the closest interface with the customer - customer satisfaction is at risk.Warehouse, warehouse efficiencywarehouse layout design,inventory locationwarehouse management systemeffective communicationThesis
