World Class Warehousing & Material Handling "101"

This a generally very useful, if basic, text on the subject of distribution center operations and structure/layout/set up, along with the various ways and means of Material Handling. Useful (because of the use of photos and diagrams) in explaining the general concepts of operations in current-model DC's. Worth having available to bring along new personnel that want to learn more about the goals, objectives, and waya and means of storing and handling product.

World Class Warehousing

This is a great book in an easy to read format for managing a "world-class" warehouse. Dr. Frazelle from Georgia Tech has done a great job explaining and providing examples on "how to" complete the analysis.

Useful book

A very useful book. All the concepts related to modern Warehousing & material handling have been explained in a very concise manner.A very useful reference for anyone wanting to learn about modern warehousing.

Great overview of concepts

I found the book helpful in learning some basics of warehousing. I appreciated the overview of various types of equipment and racking. The book focuses more on distribution systems but I found many of the concepts can be applied to MRO warehousing(zoning and slotting in particular)with some tweaking.

Good book on order picking methods

This book quickly covers the most common methods and equipment used to receive, move, store, pick, and ship materials within a warehouse environment. Much of the book focuses on the order-picking process, which makes it a good choice for fulfillment operations. Of particular interest is the detailed info on slotting as well as an objective discussion of the pros and cons of automation. The size of the book (only 233 pages) results in somewhat brief treatments of the various topics. On the plus side, this makes it a quick read for someone wanting to become familiar with warehouse operations, on the minus side you may find that you need to go to another resource to get more detailed info on a specific topic.
