Warehouse Management Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Not worth the money
Review: As a beginner in warehouse managing, the book is very general and does not provide any useful learning to me. In the discussion of communication, it does not touch on web based technology among warehouse, suppliers and customers. It actually focus entirely on the expensive traditional EDI technology.

Rating:
Summary: Great reference on warehouse management
Review: I recommend this book primarily for the extensive content. At over 900 pages, this book is enormous. Though you may want more detailed information on certain topics, you will at least find some useful information on virtually every topic related to managing a warehouse. The book is actually a collection of chapters written by different authors. Each chapter can be read independently of the others, which makes this a very good reference book.
Because of the multiple authors, there is some redundancy between chapters and inconsistency in the quality of the content.
If you're responsible for managing a warehouse, you should have this book on your bookshelf.
