Abstract

The picking process is a critical supply chain component for many companies to satisfy customer orders. A proper warehouse configuration, storage policies, trays replenishment policies, and other factors are also important to reduce not only the delivery time, but also increase productivity while maintaining quality factors at competitively cost. This paper presents a warehouse design under several space constraints due to the increasing volume and the warehouse new location. The proposed design methodology integrates warehouse layout configuration, storage policy design, replenishment policy design, picking policy design, routing policy and also trays and shelves sizes design. This work minimizes also the number of operators and the required special equipment to support all warehouse operations.
