Description
This book reviews materials handling and industrial logistics from the top down. It translates the management objectives, the strategy and policy level into the application of tools (equipment and systems) required to implement the programs which are necessary to the success of the business. It ties these elements together, defining the relationships between management strategy and engineering solutions, examining decision criteria, and exploring the choices of systems and equipment available to implement plans and policies. In order to achieve higher industrial productivity, commercial performance and efficient distribution, it is essential to view the industrial economic system as an integrated whole. [p] This book provides a combination of technical and management guidance relating to the application and use of materials handling hardware, materials handling systems, and materials management principles. (equipment and systems) required to implement the programs which are necessary to the success of the business.
