With the continuous progress of chemical industry, warehouse design needs to be diversified on account increasing complex and multitudinous perilous chemicals. In this situation, study projects conception interconnected warehouse. By taking storage points as quantity path variable, establishes a quadratic allocation model operations novel kind Then, an improved neural network algorithm is propo...

In profit-oriented environments, such as warehousing, the minimization of labor costs, and thus the flexibility of labor force is an increasingly important issue. Such an operating policy requires effective capacity planning methods to determine the number of personnel and equipment per activity and scheduling procedures to define the sequence of tasks by considering their strict deadline. In t...

A two-echelon push control system with one central warehouse and m branch warehouses is considered. The system is replenished once every cycle from an outside supplier and each cycle is divided into two different phases. While retaining the safety stock at the central warehouse, the bulk of inventories is directly shipped to the branch warehouses at the bel~inning of the first phase, and at the...

We propose an alternative algorithm for solving continuous review inventory model problems for deteriorating items over a finite horizon. Our interest focuses on the case of time–dependent demand and backlogging rates, limited or infinite warehouse capacity and taking into account the time value of money. The algorithm is based on Particle Swarm Optimization and it is capable of computing the n...

This paper proposes Enterprise Business Intelligence Maturity Model that involves thirteen capacity factors, which are (Strategic Management, Performance Measurement, Balanced Scorecard, Information Quality, Data Warehouse, Master Data Management, Metadata Management, Analytical, Infrastructure, Knowledge Management, People, Organization Culture and Change Management). This key objective of thi...

This paper proposes an analytical method for performance evaluation and optimization of a production-distribution system composed of a warehouse supplied from an upstream manufacturing plant. Customer orders arrive randomly with random order size and the production capacity is finite. Transportation time from plant to warehouse is fixed. The analytical approach needs only the first two moments ...

The order batching problem is a part of the picking process of items in a warehouse. A set of items conform an order and a set of orders conform a batch. The problem consist of grouping the orders received in the warehouse in different batches. Each batch have to be collected by a single picker without exceed a capacity limit. The objective is to minimize the total time needed to collect all th...
