If you have ever wanted to know how to reduce the cost of warehouse handling this is a great book to read. The format of organizing the chapters into "tips' was very useful.

This book is more than a primer on warehouse operation, it a reference manual to be used by beginning and experienced professionals.” -- Steven Gigliotti, Project Architect, U.S. Department of State “Warehouse Managers are entirely busy people. Picking and shipping the orders is the only thing that counts in a warehouse.

The book - "How to Optimize your warehouse operations" can rescue such managers. It offers many time tested ideas. It is written in a simple format for the busy warehouse managers. I strongly recommend that the warehouse managers implement just 1 idea per month and see their productivity take off.” -- Ram Krishnan, Industrial Engineer, President NRM SYSTEMS Start with a long list of ideas that are right on the money, add crystal clear explanations, then organize the ideas by department and finally add a glossary that explains any technical terms – and what you have got is this tremendously valuable monograph by Art Liebeskind.
