Re-engineering the warehouse

This text addresses the challenge of re-engineering the distribution systems in an existing facility so that productivity is increased, inventory is better tracked, costs are lowered, and down-time is avoided.

Since each chapter addresses a separate step in the process, users can reference one chapter to address a specific issue or can use the book as a step-by-step guide to developing an in-house distribution system.

An important and unique section on out-sourcing the distribution system is also included.

Step-by-step chapters address the planning, implementation, maintenance and budgeting of setting up the distribution system.

Also included is a chapter on emerging technologies. This book should be of interest to Industrial Engineers, Plant Managers, Material Managers, Operation Managers, supervisors and non-technical professionals in manufacturing, processing, printing and warehouse industries.
