Abstract
Begins by defining data warehouse and describing the business uses for the technology. This is followed by a focus of data warehouse management. Three components of data warehouse management are examined. In addition, a discussion on the assurance of safety and privacy, which are needed to maintain the integrity of the data warehouse, is included. The discussion also focuses on the availability and reliability of the data warehouse. Finally the paper investigates different management tools that are used to maintain the data warehouse.
From the Paper
"Data warehouses are an indispensable part of any global organization. Data warehouses are used to keep track of sales, inventory, and customer spending patterns. (?Data Warehousing?) In fact, ?a data warehouse may contain very different things, ranging from the traditional financial, manufacturing, order and customer data, through document, legal and project data, on to the brave new world of market data, press, multi-media, and links to Internet and Intranet web sites.? (Barker 1998)"

From the Paper
"There is little question that many critical enterprises in the world of today are dependent on quick and dependable access to information. From the halls of academia, to the world of business-science to medicine-the ability to readily access critical information within any particular organization or working entity is essential to survival and growth. However, even in today's technology-driven industries, it is often difficult for companies and other organizations to effectively provide the most comprehensive and critical internal information to those who need it."

Abstract
This paper considers key factors regarding data warehousing. It looks at the goal of data warehousing and the differences of data warehousing and relational databases.
From the Paper
"Data warehousing is particularly popular in environments which have complex data requirements and a broad spectrum of data types contained in its database. The goal of data warehousing is to take full advantage of the power of hardware to contain large quantities of data and use the databases to manipulate that data. Although not yet implemented across all computing environments data warehousing is becoming popular as hardware becomes more powerful and cost effective..."

Abstract
The writer looks at different types of data warehouses and shows the development as technology has expanded in the direction of the internet. The paper discusses the types of companies and organizations that use storage mechanisms. It also cites reasons why such warehouses can be security risks when storing confidential information.
From the Paper
"Traditional database management systems are passive; retrieval commands are executed by the database when requested by a user or application program. Active databases, differ in that they offer the ability to monitor and react to specific circumstances and perimeters of relevance to an application. The active database system provides a knowledge model (a description mechanism) and an execution model (i.e., a runtime strategy for supporting reactive behavior based upon the parameters of the software.)"

Abstract
The paper explains that data warehousing is a method of bringing together all of a company's data from various computer systems, including those relating to customers, employees, vendors, products, inventory and financials. The data warehouse connects different databases together in order to offer a more comprehensive data set for making decisions. The paper considers how different ways of shaping such warehouses have been developed and how certain organizations have used them to gain control over data and over decision making. The paper concludes that evidence shows how, for organizations that can develop a strong system, data warehousing is worth the cost.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Databases have traditionally been used to track individual records, but today's computers can handle data of a much different type that is not easily converted into traditional relational database formats. In many operational information systems, the data represent a structured collection. One record exists for each item and each has the same set of attributes. Information systems also have validation and referential integrity requirements. There should be no duplications, and multiple references for the same classification of data should have the same characteristics (for example, the same address for multiple contacts at a single company in a customer database)."

Abstract
The paper examines the article "Warehouse of the Future: Software will Choreograph Tomorrow's Warehouse Work", where the author discusses how the future of warehouses will involve a highly coordinated, technical and completely efficient system. The paper explains that because technology evolves rapidly and the warehouse must stay competitive, the article stresses that a warehouse design must be flexible enough to accommodate future technologies.
From the Paper
"In describing exactly how this new warehouse will function, Graham talks about a well "choreographed" automated warehouse that will focus on "trimming fat, dumping waste and eliminating redundancy wherever it is found." Admittedly, this will mean that fewer workers will be required but, those who are employed will be "more qualified, better trained, and more motivated." The result will thereafter be the creation of more service orientated jobs in a typically manufacturing/labor intense field."

Abstract
The paper discusses that the integral role of warehouse management in the overall supply chain of any organization makes the optimal performance critical for any company to achieve business objectives. The paper confirms that warehouse management systems (WMS) must optimize incoming inventory and outgoing product movement, while compensating for their physical and financial characteristics.
The paper states that companies need to be as efficient and economical as possible in managing their supply chains and warehouse planning and optimization is critical for their ability to compete globally.
From the Paper
"While in previous generations of WMS systems, the main dynamic forcing change has been the need for controlling costs and for accounting for inventory, the state-of-the-art WMS today is being used for making an organization more capable of responding quickly and accurately to the needs of customers. This demand-driven aspect of WMS implementations is also being increasingly built on existing facilities that are being re-designed to better support optimization logic of these WMS systems. Another dynamic forcing the growth of state-of-the-art WMS systems is the need for increased visibility to all warehouse activities, including inventory and order status. With the increasingly strong level of analytics available from software vendors, many organizations are opting to create scorecards to measure the performance of their WMS systems and benchmark them over time. A side-benefit of this high level of quantification is the ability to track warehouse employee productivity over time, find those processes that need to be better managed so warehouse employees will be more efficient and overall, and cut down on the level of turnover in warehouse operations."

Abstract
An overview of the problems involved in staffing a warehouse over the summer, followed by possible solutions. The author's solutions include, encouraging teamwork, offering incentives, empowering employees, improving employee motivation, multi-training employees, introducing training sessions over the summer and employing assistants. The conclusion includes various recommendations for short and long-term solutions.
From the Paper
"The warehouse supervisor?s problem relates to ensuring the warehouse is adequately staffed during the summer months. Contributing to this problem is the fact that his senior staff take vacations in the summer months and that all staff take a greater amount of sick leave in the summer months.
This has led to the supervisor having to deal with staff shortages on a daily and a weekly basis. The basic solution in the past was to hire replacements workers on an on-call basis during the summer months but this has proved ineffective, with high turnover the result. The final result for the supervisor is the stress of having to deal with staff shortage problems at short notice and also the frustration of having to hire new people constantly."

Abstract
For the past hundred years, the members of The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) have worked the docks and ports around the globe. This paper discusses how and when the union was formed, the type of workers who are involved in the union, key events in the union's history, its constitution and its growth record. The paper discusses the union's political program and questions whether it is truly democratic.
From the Paper
"When women showed up at the docks for work, they were met with superstitious fear. A woman on a ship was a bad omen to old seamen, ?witches brought storms, havoc and death? (Origins pg). Moreover, the waterfront had always been a man?s world and it took strength to ?handle cargo, lift barrels and drums and bales of cotton? (Origins pg)."
However, today with automation and technology such as computers, containers, and heavy equipment, muscle is not all that important. After twenty years, women finally gained a foothold, and today represent thirteen percent of the union?s Longshore Division. Although, it may not seem like a high percentage, when compared to other non-traditional occupations, it doesn?t seem all that low."

From the Paper
"Data warehousing is one of the hottest developments of the 1990s. In 1998, the expenditure on data warehousing was $14 600 million (META Group 1996). It is estimated that 95% of the Fortune 1000 either have a data warehouse or are planning to develop one (META Group 1996). A data warehouse may help increase a company?s sales by supporting decision-making and understanding consumer behavior. For example, Office Depot sales increased by $117 million after investing on data warehousing (Anthes 2003)."

From the Paper
Introduction
The proliferation of the Internet and the availability of various types of computer files (including documents, sound files, video files and multimedia presentation files) have made it difficult for IT managers and computer users to keep track of new types of data. Databases have traditionally been used to track individual records, but today's computers can handle data of a much different type which is not easily converted into traditional relational database formats. This research examines how users and vendors are meeting the new needs of today's computer users.
