Warehouse Management: A Complete Guide to Improving Efficiency and Minimizing Costs in the Modern Warehouse

Amazing!! Everything you might need to start going in depth with any warehouse task and issue

Informative and has given some great ideas we are exploring even with a small warehouse. Well written and easy to understand.

Book is fine but 2 weeks of dalay is not.

This is a book that should be strongly considered as required reading for anyone whose job is even the most tangentially-linked to the supply chain. Yes, that might include those in the executive suite who still cling to the old notion that a warehouse is a place for tying up a company’s money. The author has done a great job with this rather hefty book in managing a fine balancing act: providing a LOT of great, informative, up-to-date information for the “supply chain geeks” as well as offering a lot of actionable, helpful, no-hype-just-facts to the rest of us. Seventeen large chapters are crammed full of information covering everything from the seemingly basic “role of the warehouse” to “performance management” and “outsourcing”. Yet this is not a dumbed-down book, far from it. Just the right amount of information is imparted to make the reader be better informed, filling their mind with information they might not have considered before but but boy can be it be relevant. An outsider will not look at a warehouse in the same way ever again. This is all backed up by a lot of other information in appendices and various web references should you need to drill down even further. There is no excuse for ignorance after having this book on your shelf. This is a book that will be a regularly-consulted companion. Even if you believe you know “this stuff” just like you know your alphabet. To the more casual reader there might be an element of sticker shock - even though the book doesn’t even cost an hour of a consultant’s time and you could be ploughing through it for weeks. For those on a budget there is also a Kindle version. This reviewer could see a book of this kind being required reading for students too. There is a lot of thought-provoking, eye-opening text that even managed to get this jaded “been in the business world too long” reviewer thinking. In many cases companies tend to overlook the importance of “the warehouse”, especially with the past rush to JIT and stock minimisation. With a book like this maybe some attitudes will be changed by those in power, reaffirming what those who do this sort of job daily have known for a long time. Really, you might think it strange that someone can get “excited” about a book like this. Yet the author’s carefully-crafted, chosen words are literally as powerful, as engaging and as required reading as perhaps a dozen (or more) management theory and “life story” books. If you invest the time you will look at things in a more positive, different light and see a greater degree of connectivity between business processes in the long run. Many examples and lessons learned from “the warehouse” can be also adapted to other elements of business life if you try.

Je suis toujours au début, mais l'auteur détaille bien les étapes de création et de gestion d'un entrepôt logistique! Contenu intéressant!
