This is the best book I've ever found on material handling and warehouse storage. Though a little pricey, this book has content that makes it well worth the cost. Extensive detail on material handling and storage equipment. Also has separate chapters dedicated to small item warehouses, case-pick warehouses, and pallet warehouses.
Anyone designing a new warehouse or redesigning an existing one should read this book.

This book is a must for ANY professional working in the finished-goods/products Fulfillment/Distribution world. If your work and responsibilities span anywhere within a FC/DC, you should pick up this book. For less than one hundred bucks, you get one of the best written, concise handbooks I have ever encountered.

It's very important to note that this is not just a dictionary-like handbook, but rather a book that is actually easily readble and enjoyable. It is not for novices, but for anyone with some level of experience, the book comes to life and will help you build depth.

I work for a major e-retailer that disbributes products to end customers. Having worked many years here and picking up most of the know-how from experience alone, I am now questioning why our learning dept doesn't have the insight to make this book a "required" manual for all when we first started. It is excellent and provides great explanations and applications .

Buy it. If I ran a DC/FC, this is a must read for all my mgrs and jr mgrs.

Great for the in dept look at a well run warehouse. Has all the details to help you start or clean-up an operation and help it run like a well oiled machine.

The book is very comprehensive for warehouse personnel, detailing warehouse processes only cover with general header in other related books.

I was wishing a more specialized book, especially where inventory management comes, but it has so many topis that each one is very basic

Good introduction to many of the concepts but lacking depth I would have liked. You can't have it all though, they say.

My book arrived today, but it was very poorly packaged for a consignment to Australia. The cardboard was sealed only with a single strip of paper tape which had broken and the package had to be re-sealed with real tape by the Australian post office. Photo available. Fortunately the book was intact, but there was no paperwork, receipt or packing slip which have fallen out of the open package, but I do require it. Hopefully a real person will read this and send me a duplicate.
Thankyou.
