Description

The classic guide to warehouse operations―now fully revised and up to date with the contemporary strategies, best practices, and case studies

Under the influence of e-commerce, supply chain collaboration, globalization, and quick response, warehouses today are being asked to do more with less. The expectation now is that warehouses execute an increase in smaller transactions, care for and store more items, provide more product and service customization, process more returns, offer more value-added products and services, and receive and ship more international orders.  Compounding the difficulty of meeting this increased demand is the truth that warehouses now have less time to process an order, less margin for error and fewer skilled team of workers.

 

How can a warehouse not only stay afloat but thrive in today’s marketplace?

 

Efficiency and accuracy are the keys to success in warehousing. Despite today’s just-in-time production mentality and efforts to do away with warehouses and their inventory carrying costs, effective warehousing continues to play a critical bottom-line role for companies around the globe. World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling, 2nd Edition is the first widely published methodology for warehouse problem solving across all areas of the supply chain, providing an organized set of principles that can be utilized to streamline all types of warehousing operations.
