Abstract

Storage strategy has great impact of warehouse performance. Compared to static storage strategy, where the product locations are fixed during the order picking process, dynamic storage is a storage method which has the potential to enhance warehouse performance to a degree that can not easily be achieved by static storage methods. In dynamic storage strategies, products are assigned to forward pick locations depending on time and need. This Ph.D. project focuses on the effects of dynamic storage on warehouse performance.
