Supply Chain and Logistics

This week is about packaging, which is Chapter 10.
For  Wednesday you are to bring a package to class — and be prepared to tell us in 2 minutes or less everything of interest about the package from a logistics standpoint.  At the end of the class there will be a vote to select the best package.  A very desirable prize will be awarded to the winner!!

You had better read the chapter in advance to find out what is important about a package from a logistics standpoint.

I’m giving you both the chapter 10 presentation and one from Murphy from his packaging chapter.  Enjoy.  We will also have a demonstration of how to design a warehouse, probably on Friday.

Here is one about McGraw-Hill’s new warehouse. This is why they can sell you your textbook so cheap.

Warehouse giants.

The latest issue of Modern Material Management – you can get free email updates.  It’s where I found the other two articles.
