World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling Paperback – January 1, 2001

This book nicely presents high impact content related to the Frazelle Supply Chain Model developed at the Supply Chain Institute at Georgia Tech. The model builds a very credible case that effective Supply Chain design begins with the objectives of Customer Service and flow through policies established sequentially through Inventory Management, Supply, Transportation and finally Warehouse functions. Decisions cascade through these functions culminating in warehousing - which is largely determined and constrained by prior policy. This book delves into the warehousing function and in my opinion deserves a place on any supply chain professionals bookshelf. I'm looking forward to what I hope will be future books covering in greater depth the other functions in the supply chain model described by RightChain (TM), now associated with LRI Consulting (Logistics Resources International).This book will not only present to the reader a primer on sound warehousing operations, but it will provide substantive direction on how to measure and improve performance. The only drawback is the realization that the largest potential for performance improvement is when the entire supply chain model is considered and not only the warehousing functions. Given this - sometimes you need to address the functions within the total model where access or authority is granted to affect change. If this describes you relative to the warehousing function - you will value this book.

All purchases were correctly filled

Read for my Transportation and Warehouse Management Class. It's a slim book that is full of practical information, like Warehouse Activity Profiling, and setting up benchmarks to measure warehouse performance so that that continuous improvement can be implemented. It also covers different types of picking systems--the actual physical systems involved, not just the theory behind picking systems. It also has a large section on choosing a new warehouse space, and how to decide the right amount of space and the layout that is needed.It was, however, a tad dry, though to be fair--can you really make warehousing interesting? I will be keeping this book as a useful reference.

Great book. Price was really cheap and very helpful for me. Thanks you for the product.

For my Msc class I had to do some research on the best methods for warehousing and material handling. This book had all the information.

Love being able to read from my reader instead of trying to read the small print in the book.

After complaining and making a refund I received the item I purchased that I knew that should be very nice.The problem was your shipment company IPACEL

I bought this book because it was required in the course-ware. The book is helpful to those who are beginners in the industry and it does well to provide clear and crisp definitions. However, if you are looking for acquiring intuition and solutions to practical problems, you will have to look elsewhere.
