Workshop

Stochastic models for warehousing systems

October 29-30, 2009

Summary
Warehousing has received a growing interest among academics in the last decades. This interest has been strongly stimulated by the rise of complex systems such as automated storage and retrieval systems, sorters, and automated guided vehicles, requiring complex design and operating policy decisions.
Recently, interest has arisen for problems in warehouse lay outing, order scheduling and batching, product storage allocation and worker routing, worker congestion, and worker modelling in general, in different warehousing systems and environments. Several models have proven their value in practical operations and decision making.

The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of recent research in warehousing with an emphasis on stochastic modelling.
