Save time, improve space utilization and cut costs in your warehouse

Revised and expanded guide offers tips, methods and metrics for improving warehouse operations

New York, New York, (PRWEB) September 19, 2003 ---- Time, space, and costs are the cornerstones by which an efficient and effective warehouse is measured," says author Maida Napolitano, senior industrial engineer with Gross & Associates. In the pages of the newly revised book, The Time, Space & Cost Guide to Better Warehouse Design," Napolitano provides a wealth of information that warehouse managers can use to save time, improve space utilization and reduce costs.

The book focuses on three areas of improvement: time standards,
space calculations, and cost calculations.

By measuring time in the warehouse, managers can identify opportunities in the design where time can be saved, subsequently reducing labor costs and increasing throughput. The guide discusses the use of time to measure work, estimate labor requirements, evaluate alternative designs and improve andbenchmark operations.

Napolitano also evaluates the impact of various storage and material handling equipment methods on space utilization and provides strategies to help managers determine the best possible combination of products, equipment, and operating systems.

Time and space requirements can be converted into bottom-line costs. To show how, Napolitano reviews the different warehouse cost centers and provides the latest cost figures and techniques for analyzing these costs.

The newly revised edition includes more than 100 charts and figures to illustrate concepts, provide detailed data, and offer further insight.

The Time, Space & Cost Guide to Better Warehouse Design" is published by the Distribution Group, which provides highly focused publications to help warehouse and distribution center managers improve the performance of their operations.
