Description

In this talk we discuss a tactical model recently available in warehouse literature. The model integrates the replenishment decision in inventory management, the allocation of products to warehousing systems and the assignment of products to storage locations in warehousing management. Our aim is to show the models’ potentialities and weaknesses when applied to a wide variety of problems and to identify challenging research opportunities for developing global warehouse decision support models that fill the gap between researchers and warehouse practitioners.
