Designing your warehouse

One technology to consider for automating the process of broken case order selection: an A-frame picking system.

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 9/1/1998

Still packed with useful information and still timely, here's a hands-on guide for readers interested in improving the design and operations of a warehouse: The Time, Space & Cost Guide To Better Warehouse Design.

Maida Napolitano of Gross & Associates wrote this 106-page paperback several years ago; a copy crossed our desks recently. Time standards, space calculations, and cost calculations are covered in separate chapters. The guide also includes many tables, drawings, and examples of cost analyses; an A-frame picking system for automated broken case order selection is one of the technologies shown. And, for those new to materials handling terminology in warehousing, there's a glossary to help one comprehend the specialized "language" of this topic.

Contact Distribution Center Management to order your copy ($49.95) by calling (212) 228-0246, extension 103.
