Rethinking Warehouse Design Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Keck Virtual Factory Lab (KVFL) was created to be a platform for computationally-based research on industrial logistics systems, and currently engages nine faculty and over a dozen graduate students. Initially, the KVFL has focused on warehousing and the development of integrated computational tools to support warehouse design and optimization, and warehousing-related courses. Recent collaboration with expert warehouse designers has caused a rethinking of the warehouse design process and the research likely to have the greatest impact on practice. This presentation will describe briefly the KVFL, present a conceptual framework for warehouse design research, and describe several ongoing research projects addressing tools for warehouse design.
