Warehousing is deceptively
simple. Many believe that the function is so basic that any decent
manager can run an effective warehouse.
Then when the operation does not run
smoothly, it is not easy to understand why. This book
provides multiple approaches to the auditing process.
We explore the "why" as well
as the "how to." With the charts and examples
presented, you will be
well equipped to audit
the performance of your warehouses.
