Industrial Management Due to the globalization, warehousing activities are now becoming significantly crucial to ensure its effectiveness and efficiency of receiving, storing and handling of goods and materials in the manufacturing firms.Thus it creates the pivotal roles of logistics support in exporting the goods to other destination and also as an excellent hub with accurate information of timely delivery, receiving of materials and goods through efficient MIS networking.

Questionnaires (42 questions) were given to owners, factory managers or warehouse managers or warehouse section heads.All the SMEs involved came from various sectors such as food & beverages, metal & metal products, wood & wood products, paper and printing publication, machinery & engineering, plastics products, electrical & electronics, non-metallic mineral product, petro chemical and chemical, transport equipment, rubber & rubber products, and leather.Findings showed that, there is a strong relationship between WO and WE with its correlation coefficient 0.772.Based on p-value 0.00, the study found that it is very significance.Based on the Sobel, Aroian and Goodman tests showed that the results are significant, p < 0.05. It had confirmed that the Warehousing MIS mediates the relationship between the Warehousing Operations and Warehouse Efficiency.
