Including operational costs in warehouse location problems: A case study in USA

There is vast research on particular aspects of warehouse design - layout, material handling, order picking, and operating policies - when, in fact, the decisions involved in the process are…

Clusters of floor locations-allocation of stores to cross-docking warehouse considering satisfaction and space using MOGWO and NSGA-II algorithms

Optimal warehouse design is the most substantial issue for many companies, because of increasing their efficiency and productivity. Nowadays, a warehouse is just undefined as a site for goods storage…

Multiple Criteria Inventory Classification for Storage Assignment and a Case Study

Abstract. Warehouse management has been turned into a more complicated issue depending on dynamics pertain to customer, good, speed and cost. It’s an inefficient and difficult approach to control all…

Warehouse layout problems : Types of problems and solution algorithms

The goal is to offer a more structured view for the important problem of warehouse layout problem and to present two types of solutions (mathematical models and technological solutions) and the types of warehouse layouts problems.

A revised proof of optimality for the cube-per-order index rule for stored item location

Optimal storage assignment policies for multiaddress warehousing systems

The results reported indicate one means for potentially decomposing the integrated warehousing problem to obtain locally optimal warehouse layouts for fixed inventory levels.

Improve the orders picking in e-commerce by using WMS data and BigData analysis

The presented research proves that standard data collected by WMS could be used for solving PAP for the reduction of total picking time and allows the increase of efficiency rates.

Optimal Storage Assignment in Automatic Warehousing Systems

It is shown that significant reductions in crane travel time and distance are obtainable from turnover-based rules, and these improvements can be directly translated into increased throughput capacity for existing systems, and may be used to alter the design of proposed systems.

Storage-Retrieval Interleaving in Automatic Warehousing Systems

The results indicate that significant reductions in crane travel time and distance are obtainable in some real-world and previously modeled situations via the proposed storage assignment/interleaving policies, which may be directly translated into increased throughput capacity for existing systems.
