Analysis of Corridors in the ECOWAS Region and Warehouse Management warehouses

These two chapters analyze the fundamentals of logistics management and transportation corridors in West Africa. The first highlights the importance of effective warehouse management through WMS, identification technologies (barcodes, RFID), storage methods, and security measures to optimize flows, traceability, and costs. The second chapter evaluates the performance of ECOWAS corridors using indicators from the Observatory of Abnormal Practices (OPA), revealing that road checkpoints, illegal fees, and delays hinder the smooth flow of trade.
