Hospitality Logistics Management (Book with DVD)

With the hospitality industry on the upswing and a steadily improving economic outlook, the number of hotel renovations and expansions has picked up dramatically over the last year. Whether it is project management, transportation services, or warehousing and distribution, the biggest logistics advantage comes from e ciency and accountability. The combination of expertise and resources displayed by the best logistics vendors streamlines many of the logistical di culties inherent to hotel renovations or relocations, and introduces a level of accountability into a complex process with many moving parts.

The logistics advantage begins early. Because materials are typically purchased well in advance of actual construction, a logistics partner with the ability to have everything shipped to one central location that is close to the project-and delivered
to the job site as needed-solves a number of potential problems and presents appealing e ciencies. In today’s changing business environment, there is an increased focus on delivering value to the customer at the cheapest possible costs. Hotel companies, both big and small, must focus on how to o er products and services while keeping costs low.
