| Abstract
|
:
|
"Warehouses have been described as places where buyers keep their mistakes. They are also seen as a 'necessary evil': places that stop the flow of goods and thus increase costs without adding value. The truth is that warehouses often have a critical part to play in supply chain management, and warehouse managers should be centrally involved in the strategic aspects of any business. Excellence in Warehouse Management covers everything you need to know - from stock control to outsourcing - to manage warehouse operations as part of a holistic system, fine-tuned to serve the customer and drive the bottom-line."--Jacket.
