A Classed-based Storage Assignment Policy in a Distribution Center. Case study: a Distribution Center of a Beverage Company in the Northeast of Thailand
Keywords:
Warehouse, Storage assignment problem, Class-based storage policyAbstract
In this paper, a storage assignment problem in the warehouse is investigated. The purpose of this work is to determine the storage locations minimizing the total travel distance in the picking activity. A distribution center of a beverage company in the Northeast of Thailand is used as the case study. In determining the storage locations, a class-based storage policy is applied. The results of the study show that the proposed method can reduce the total average monthly travel distance in the picking activity by 32.05%
