Description:... To a large extent, the competitiveness of any company - whether in the manufacturing, distribution or service industries - will depend upon how efficiently they are able to store and move materials. This proceedings examines the financial and human factors involved in effective distribution and warehousing and explores some of the recent technical advances in this area. The emphasis of the mainstream sessions is on the practical approach, illustrated by case study material, while the specialist/research sessions highlight some of the developments in technology.
