Summary: Great for the novice
Review: Great for the novice
I was new to the warehouse management and looking for a book to teach me and guide me through the topics, this book did so. The most important feature of the book are the forms, plus you can grab them out of the Plastic Comb an use them right away. The author gives an overview of the warehouse operations and how to handle them for excellence. With this book I took the Inventory Record Accuracy from 20% to 95% in four months, a must for those new to the warehouse operations and standards.
The chapters are as follows:
1.Inventories: Their importance to Business today
2.Warehouse, Leasing, and Storages Cost
3.Logistics Services and Outsourcing Potentials
4.Selecting a Third Party Service Provider
5.Warehousing Operations: Delivery and Storage
6.Other Warehouse Operations
7.The Compliance Manual
8.Performance Standards and Audits
9.Pricing Warehouse Services, Quotations, and Contracts
10.Bar Coding and EDI
11.Packaging: Containers and Methods12.Liability, Claims and Insurance
Appendixes

Summary: Interesting but low level
Review: The book is interesting, but if you are looking for a good book about the warehousing I'd recommend another one. It is the right book if you don't know anything of warehouses and facilities.
This book spends a lot of pages in the Appendix (50%).
Futhermore the regulations are USA ones, so if you don't live in the USA you don't need to know them.
Order this item if you are a novice and order another if you are a logistics executive.
