A literature survey on planning and control of warehousing systems

Abstract

We present a literature survey on methods and techniques for the planning and control of warehousing systems. Planning refers to management decisions that affect the intermediate term (one or multiple months), such as inventory management and storage location assignment. Control refers to the operational decisions that affect the short term (hours, day), such as routing, sequencing, scheduling and order-batching. Prior to the literature survey, we give an introduction into warehousing systems and a classification of warehouse management problems
