Being successful in evaluating, selecting and implementing new warehousing software is the focus of Obal's efforts in his expanded second edition. Content has grown over 30%. In addition to many new topics and updated material, a dedicated chapter on "Implementation of New Software" has been added. New material occupies every chapter. Examples include volumetrics, dimensioning and software functionality levels with RFID.
