Automated Material Handling

My final paper will discuss the topic of Automated Material Handling (AMH) and it's impacts on inventory control and inventory management systems.

It will focus on the technology provided by Kiva Systems, as highlighted in my prior post.  I have been focusing on the paper over the past few weeks and will concentrate my final blog posts to provide additional detail on Kiva's use of this technology as well as other types of AMH and impacts they are having on distribution centers, warehouses, and other storage facilities.  My case study considers how AMH could impact a retail stock room.

A link to additional detail on Kiva Systems:
