Press Release: How Mature is your Warehouse? |
|
New valuable resource called "Integral Warehouse Management" that
explains how to run distribution centers successfully is now released. This
book is designed for logistics and operations managers who want to excel in
"best in class". Best in class companies optimize their
operations, have lower costs, reliable services, more throughput and are
leaders in their industries. "Integral Warehouse Management" is
designed to help management, warehouse supervisors, industrial engineers and
logistics students on how to run a distribution center effectively. It is
written by an experienced hands-on warehousing consultant with input from
many of the top logistics professionals throughout the world.
"Integral Warehouse Management" by Jeroen van den Berg shows, substantiated by international research, that major cost savings of 20-30 percent are still possible in distribution centers nowadays. "In practice, managers often struggle to achieve minor savings", says the Dutch expert. In his book, he treats the distribution center as an integral part of the supply chain. "The integral view is the key to the large savings potential", claims Van den Berg, "while transparency, collaboration and intelligent IT are the tools we use". Centerpiece of the book is the warehouse management maturity grid with four maturity levels. Based on the maturity, companies need different measures. The maturity grid explains why many software and supply chain projects have hardly gained benefits in practice. "Those operations were not ready for the new initiatives", says Van den Berg. The book illustrates how managers get ready for a next move and, best of all, how they reap benefits along the way. The book ends with a checklist that enables readers to assess the maturity of their own distribution center. |
