Added a new chapter on why modern warehouses are more efficient than older ones. (This focuses on the building itself rather than the processes therein.)
Added new exercises, plus included more solutions for students to check their work.
Added an appendix with a glossary of notation, thanks to a suggestion by Ronald Mantel.
Many small improvements and corrections, thanks to Ronald Mantel.
Improved supporting software: A complete re-write of WhPickPathOptimizer has simplified data input and will handle more general layouts. A new command-line version of WhAffinityAnalyzer now handles arbitrarily large order histories. WhHeatMap now defaults to colors that are color-blind safe, printer safe, and copier safe.
Added an industrial data set to the supplementary materials, along with suggested activities in data-mining, profiling, and warehouse design.
