The design of facilities, warehouses, and material-handling systems
as well as the management of logistics operations significantly
impact the success of industrial projects. Facility Logistics:
Approaches and Solutions to Next Generation Challenges explores
recent developments in the technology, industrial practices, and
business environments of facility logistics.
The book first discusses the main trends impacting facility
logistics operations, including visibility, security, flexibility,
labor, globalization, and sustainability. It then examines the
functionalities and capabilities of warehouse management systems
(WMS) and outlines a comprehensive yet simple method for the quick
assessment of warehouse performance. The following chapters present
a set of solutions to emerging challenges in the design and
management of facility logistics, along with procedures to better
plan and manage the logistics activities within a production or
storage facility. The final chapter reviews educational resources
and offers examples of how multimedia tools can be used to develop
new teaching material.
With more globalization and outsourcing occurring as well as a
greater emphasis on facility sustainability, new facility logistics
challenges have emerged. By evaluating the impact of these issues
on facility logistics, this volume helps you improve the design and
management of your facility.
