Module 3 – Case
WAREHOUSING
Case Assignment
Welcome to the case study
assignment for the third module of the course. From the background material you
notice that warehousing technology and warehousing management styles are
changing. Warehouse management systems (WMS) are also coming into common practice
to be critical to the successful operation of today’s warehouse.
After reading the articles on
the Module Background page and doing some of your own research, write a 3-4
page paper discussing the following question:
Why is a state-of-the-art WMS
critical to the operation of a modern warehouse?
Assignment Expectations
Research the topic with
information from the background readings as well as any other resources you
find on your own. The paper should be 3-4 pages in length and have a cover
sheet and a reference page. Clarity of presentation is important, as well as
your ability to cover the topic in a succinct, organized manner with research
to back up your points. Use at least 3 different sources of information and
annotate your sources of information appropriately on your references page and
within the text as necessary. You will be assessed on how well you demonstrate
your understanding of state-of-the-art warehouse management tools and the
benefits and challenges of implementation.
