Development of Layout Design Algorithm for Warehouse

보관시설의 작업공간 배치 알고리즘 개발

This paper deals with the development of warehouse layout design algorithm. In the developed model, receiving/outgoing areas, storage areas, picking/distribution areas, value-added operation areas and support areas are considered. For more efficient use of the warehouse floor space, a mezzanine floor is also considered. We develop heuristic algorithms of warehouse layout design for several cases: three types of warehouse and three types of flow. This study is expected to be used as a guideline in warehouse layout design phase.
