Description
Praise and Reviews
`An original look at this vital subject.`
STORAGE HANDLING DISTRIBUTION
Logistics and distribution management is now recognised as a major industrial and economic function in its own right. An appreciation of the sheer scope and importance of the subject has led to a new professional approach that concentrates on the logistics function as a whole as well as on the individual sub-systems. This second edition of a popular and practical handbook recognizes this new perception and explores all the respective stages of the supply chain, from raw materials through to the final distribution of the finished product. The major topics covered are:
concepts of logistics and distribution;
planning for logistics;
procurement and inventory decisions;
warehousing and storage;
freight transport;
information and supply-chain management.
Richly illustrated throughout with diagrams and photographs, this new edition is an invaluable guide for distribution, logistics and supply-chain managers, as well as students taking logistics-related degrees and professional qualifications.
