This review is from: The Distribution Management Handbook (Hardcover)
The book covers in detail these major topics: distribution systems, transportation, and warehousing. In appendixes, it includes case studies on food distribution, office furniture, and automotive parts. The authors' comprehensive research could certainly be in a great assistance to those managers who struggle for their business efficiency and success. Save time by avoiding common mistakes. Build a state-of-the-art distribution system. Select the carriers who deliver on their promises, not just those who promise to deliver. Pick the best location for your warehouse. Calculate optimal space and layout. Control your inventory in a way you never thought possible before.
