Synopsis

Why do some distribution centers have excellent performance while others struggle? Highly Competitive Warehouse Management unravels the secrets of those best-in-class operations and shows how they create a competitive advantage for their companies.

With the accompanying Warehouse Maturity Scan, distribution center and supply chain management will have a tool to analyze the current state of their operations. Based on these results, the author provides a systematic yet flexible action plan for improvement, which involves human behavior, process redesign, warehouse management systems and supply chain alignment. These materials, along with case studies, detailed examples and thought provoking questions will move your facility to best-in-class performance.

Van den Berg has shown clearly, with many practical examples, how to apply contemporary management tools to warehouse management.
