Donaldson, The Logistics Institute, Georgia Tech “Mr. Liebeskind’s warehouse operation material talks to the lay person interested in knowing how to maximize material handling in an efficient yet understandable manner. 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. The book is structured into a logical sequence of topics that starts with the importance of inventory control and ends with staging and shipping. 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. As a result, most managers have no time to visit other warehouses, share their thoughts and ideas with their counterparts in other facilities. 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.
