Areas and shelves

What the parts of this warehouse are called: the areas, the racks in them and the shelves on those racks. It is a list of names and nothing else. Nothing here measures a space, says what may safely go on it, or knows what is on it now.

This is the first step of the opening day. Write the names down here, put the plan into use, then walk the building and check every area and shelf against what is actually written on the racks. Correcting a name is expected: a plan nobody has stood in front of is a draft, whether or not it has been published.
