Commercial buildings are a significant consumer of energy worldwide. Logistics facilities, and specifically warehouses, common building type which remain under-researched in the demand-side forecasting literature. Warehouses have an idiosyncratic profile when compared to other commercial industrial with reliance on small number systems. As such, warehouse owners operators increasingly entering ...

In this paper we impose a capacity restriction on a multi-echelon joint location-inventory model. The setting is that of a single product manufacturer distributing its product to a number of warehouses, each of which is assigned to a number of retailers. There is no lateral supply between warehouses and they do not share retailers. The model simultaneously makes decisions on location and invent...

The traditional, uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) seeks to determine a set of warehouses to open such that all retail stores are serviced by a warehouse and the sum of the fixed costs of opening and operating the warehouses and the variable costs of supplying the retail stores from the opened warehouses is minimized. In this paper, we discuss the partial coverage uncapacitated fac...

This paper proposes an enterprise modeling framework for the deployment of data warehouses. The framework provides the information roadmap coordinating source data and different data warehouses across the business enterprise. The paper introduces a solution to address data warehousing issues at the enterprise level while avoiding the pitfalls of creating enterprise data warehouses and universal...

In this article we present an interesting result on consolidating several one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic customer demands. We examine the inventory cost impact of decreasing the number of warehouses used (by possibly re-assigning retailers to other warehouses). We prove that (i) using only two properly selected warehouses, we can ensure that the system-wide inventory cos...

In recent years, an increasing interest in the use of artificial intelligence techniques in the area of industrial production planning and scheduling could be observed. Most of the developed systems addressed the problem of scheduling the production activities of a single plant. However, within many industrial enterprises the production processes are distributed over several manufacturing sites...
