Abstract(s)
Warehouses can be considered one of the most important nodes in supply chains. The dynamic nature of today’s markets compels organizations to an incessant reassessment in an effort to respond to continuous challenges. Therefore warehouses must be continually re-evaluated to ensure that they are consistent with both market’s demands and management’s strategies. In this paper we discuss a mathematical programming model aiming to support product assignment and allocation to the functional areas as well as the size of each area. In particular a large mixed-integer programming model (MILP) is presented to capture the trade-offs among the different warehouse costs in order to achieve global optimal design satisfying throughput requirements.
