Case studies from Avon, Ford, Xerox, True Value Hardware, and others detail how today's most innovative logistics and supply chain managers are arriving at proven solutions to a wide variety of warehousing challenges. Topics discussed include: <ul>
<li>
Warehouse activity profiling--for identifying causes of information and material flow problems and pinpointing opportunities for improvement</li> <li>
Warehouse performance measures--for monitoring, reporting, and benchmarking warehouse performance</li> <li>
Storage and retrieval system selection--for improving storage density, handling productivity, and trade-offs in required capital investment</li> <li>
Order picking strategies--for improving the productivity and accuracy of order fulfillment</li> <li>
