This is the third edition of a book first published in 1983. It con
tains two new chapters. One of these deals with the growing use of
"just-in-time" techniques and their effect on warehousing. A second
new chapter covers specialized warehousing and three types of
special storage - temperature control, protection of hazardous
materials and "fulfillment" warehousing. Major changes in both
materials handling and information processing and transmitting have
caused appropriate changes in the contents of this book. For over
two decades, the author has been involved in writing about the
warehousing industry. Earlier writings were oriented to ward users
and operators of public warehouses. The goal of this early writing
was to develop a better understanding between the third party
warehouse operator and his consumer, through a common apprecia tion
of technical problems. Since that time, the number of information
sources on warehous ing has increased. A professional society, the
Warehousing Education and Research Council did not even exist when
we first started writing about the industry. Today it provides an
important source of informa tion in the field. Both private and
third-party warehousing have grown in vol ume. More importantly,
public awareness of warehousing as an in dustry in itself has
increased.
