Were as if they have ware house and factory in a same building then they don’t have to employee lots of people in different factories. For example if they have 20 people in one factory and 20 in another then they will have 40 employees in 2 different location but if they have warehouse and factory in same place they can work with 35 people because they will get a help from factory people as well. So they will save money from 5 employees and save money from building a warehouse in a different location as well.
