Warehouse Modernization & Planning Guide
NAVSUP Publication 529
Written By The Sims Consulting Group
 This
massive sourcebook for warehousing design is packed with over 700 pages of illustrations,
procedures and design data. It explains how to analyze, select, design and evaluate warehouse
operations, plans and equipment. It contains detailed procedures for analysis of inventory and
transaction activity and how to use this analysis for equipment selection.
NAVSUP
529 was prepared by The Sims Consulting Group for the U.S. Navy. This publication has become the
de facto standard for all Department of Defense warehouses. While published originally in 1983,
the procedures are timeless, information is surprisingly current and even the cost data is still
relevant for comparison. This downloadable pdf file is a scanned copy of the original
publication.
