An integrated model for warehouse design and planning. In Optimization 2011. Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Caparica Campus.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/10742Warehouse design is a field of interest for both practitioners and researchers that have attracted a lot of research attention in the last years. Nevertheless it remains a complex task with very few general models that capture the existing and often conflicting trade-offs of a warehouse system. Literature surveys show that most research efforts have been devoted to solve limited and well-defined problems rather than integrated ones. This is not surprising since developing an integrated model is more difficult to analyse and treat analytically. In this talk we present and discuss a high-level model that integrates some decisions involved in warehouse design and planning. Our aim is to analyse the value of integrating warehouse decisions showing that additional savings can be achieved.engWarehouse design and planningLogisticsIntegrated modelconference object
