Logistics Execution -- A How-To Guide for Improvement

This book is targeted at logistics managers aspiring to move up the ranks; or those who have been tasked with improving an operation. Rather than relying on academic theories or consultants' case studies, it is written by a long-time logistics practitioner. It provides a practical how-to guide for undertaking process improvements in logistics. Organized into two parts, by Horizontal Disciplines (process improvement, project management, etc.) and by Vertical Functions (warehousing, transportation, etc.) it outlines step-by-step approaches for achieving operational improvement. Even experienced or senior-level logistics and supply chain managers can benefit from the insights of these real-world examples from within manufacturing, distribution and retail companies.
