Slotting Optimization Model for a Warehouse with Divisible First-Level Accommodation Locations

A Two-warehouse Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Permissible Delay under Exponentially Increasing Demand

In this study, a two-warehouse inventory model with exponentially increasing trend in demand involving different deterioration rates under permissible delay in payment has been studied. Here the scheduling period is assumed to be a variable. The objective of this study is to obtain the condition when to rent a warehouse and the retailer's optimal replenishment policy that minimizes the total re...

Utility of Ranking Warehouse Candidates in Workshop Locations Using UTAStar

Although the importance of locating in manufacturing and service companies is not a new issue, one of significance applications is to determine the appropriate location for warehouses in manufacturing workshops warehouses to the maintenance of materials or products. In any organizations, Finding the suitable site for warehouses establishments to increase customer service and efficiency is one o...

A new model for Assessment and Optimization of Number of Spare Transformers and their Locations in Distribution Systems

In this paper, a new model has been presented to determine the number of spare transformers and their locations for distribution stations. The number of spare transformers must be so that they need minimum investment. Furthermore, they must be sufficient for replacing with transformers that have been damaged. For this reason, in this paper a new purpose function has been presented to maximize p...

Assigning Storage Locations in an Automated Warehouse

A common rule for retrieval from Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) is to follow a first-in-first-out (FIFO) discipline. In many cases FIFO priority is set by date of manufacture. In some cases, however, the material may be stored in the warehouse according to a FIFO priority which depends on something other than the date of manufacture of that material, such as rules based on ship...
