Warehouse location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria and has a strategic importance for many companies. The conventional approaches to warehouse location selection problem tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of the linguistic assessment. Under many situations, the values of the qualitative crit...

In this paper we present a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving NP-hard Multiple Warehouse Layout Problem (MLWLP). New encoding scheme with appropriate objective functions is implemented. Specific representation and modified genetic operators keep individuals correct and help in restoring good genetic material and avoiding premature convergence in suboptimal solutions. The algorithm is tested on ...

Warehouses are junction points in the supply chain. To avoid disruptions chain flow, materials stored warehouse must be safely protected and made available for next transportation activity. Warehouse personnel critical ensuring full-time material flow. For administrative dimension, managers leaders responsible successful execution of all input-output processes. Therefore, a manager is needed op...

To determine the optimal warehouse location, it is usually assumed that collected data are uncontaminated. However, this assumption can be easily violated due to uncertain environment and human error in disaster response, which results biased estimation of location. In study, we investigate possibility by examining these effects on location determination. Considering different distances, propos...

Workers play a crucial role in company, and their workload significantly influences productivity. This research was conducted manufacturing specifically the Warehouse Department (storage section), due to indications of low The objective analyze profiles workers storage section company’s warehouse. analysis using Westinghouse method, which considers skill, effort, condition, consistency analyzin...

In warehouses, storage replenishment operations involve the transportation of items to capacitated item slots in forward area from reserve storage. These are later picked these as demand arises. While order picking constitutes majority warehouse operating costs, efficient management is important ensure availability for and decrease costs due replenishment, which might be particularly higher war...

In this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. The constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. The first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...
