The Warehouse Management Handbook

I recommend this book primarily for the extensive content. At over 900 pages, this book is enormous. Though you may want more detailed information on certain topics, you will at least find some useful information on virtually every topic related to managing a warehouse. The book is actually a collection of chapters written by different authors. Each chapter can be read independently of the others, which makes this a very good reference book. Because of the multiple authors, there is some redundancy between chapters and inconsistency in the quality of the content. If you're responsible for managing a warehouse, you should have this book on your bookshelf.

This is the highly demanded second edition of The Warehouse Management Handbook. The second edition offers 39 crucial, leading-edge chapters, each written by a different noted warehouse management expert. There is not a more complete guide to the science of warehouse management in print. Numbering almost a thousand pages, The Warehouse Management Handbook, Second Edition is literally brimming with information that will improve warehouse performance and the bottom line. This book is a must for every warehouse. Chapter topics include: Third Party Warehousing, Warehouse Space and Layout Planning, Simulation, Hazardous Materials Management, Environmental Concerns in Warehousing, Automated Guided Vehicle Systems, RF Communication, Warehouse Management Systems, Electronic Data Interchange, and Loss Control. Special features in this book include a comprehensive index and two case studies. The Warehouse Management Handbook, Second Edition is the standard warehouse management reference, and is an ideal text for industrial engineering courses of study.
