Research on warehouse design and performance evaluation: A comprehensive review

Published 2010 in European Journal of Operational Research

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a detailed survey of the research on warehouse design, performance evaluation, practical case studies, and computational support tools. This and an earlier survey on warehouse operation provide a comprehensive review of existing academic research results in the framework of a systematic classification. Each research area within this framework is discussed, including the identification of the limits of previous research and of potential future research directions.
