Warehouses are an integral part of the modern supply chain, involved in
sourcing, producing and distributing goods. However, due to the
complexities of warehouse operations they can often be one of the most
costly parts of the supply chain. Their efficient management is
therefore critical for minimizing cost and contributing to an effective
and efficient supply chain.

Warehouse Management provides a
complete guide to best practice in warehouse operations. Covering
everything from the latest technological advances to current
environmental issues, this book provides a valuable companion to the
modern warehouse.  The text considers the many aspects of warehouse
management, including cost reduction, productivity, people management,
performance management, outsourcing, resourcing and costing a warehouse,
the role of the warehouse and its manager, equipment, storage systems
and health and safety.

Backed up with numerous case studies that
demonstrate how to apply new technology, minimize spending, and create
efficient, stream-lined operations, this book is a valuable resource for
warehouse managers, logistics professionals, operations managers and
students of logistics.  This updated edition delves deeper into some of
the key concepts and includes new case studies and short descriptions
for each section of the book.
