Recently, there has been an increasing interest in applying association rule mining on data warehouses to identify trends and patterns that exist in the historical data present in large data warehouses. These warehouses have a complex underlying multidimensional structure and the application of traditional rule mining algorithms becomes hard. In this paper, we review and critically evaluate the...

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, a realistic replenishment model with multiple warehouses (one is primary warehouse (PW) from where the items are sold and others are secondary warehouses (SWs) where the items are stored) is developed with fuzzy lead-time under the assumption that the capacities of the warehouses are finite. Inflation and time value of money are taken into account. The items of secondary warehous...

This paper presents a tool that automatically generates multidimensional schemas for data warehouses from OLTP entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs). Based on user’s input parameters, it generates star schemas, snowflake schemas, or a fact constellation schema by taking advantage of only structural information of input ERDs. Hence, SAMSTARplus can help users reduce efforts for designing data ware...

We study a multi-echelon joint inventory-location model that simultaneously determines the location of warehouses and inventory policies at the warehouses and retailers. The model is formulated as a nonlinear mixed-integer program, and is solved using a Lagrangian relaxation-based approach. The efficiency of the algorithm and benefits of integration are evaluated through a computational study.

This paper presents an alternative to the location of distribution centres considering a multi-objective model minimising insecurity cost and road access for case study in City Barranquilla (Colombia). For solution model, 15 different scenarios variation importance proposed objectives are considered. As basis design modelling, characterisation classification variables with highest incidence or ...
