Abstract

Storage systems and their operation are highly underestimated areas of logistics. Due to lack of knowledge, many stores are wrongly planned or not optimally operated. This causes underoccupation or shortages of storeplaces and underutilization or bottlenecks of storage devices. Comparatively few problems are originated by storage technique, which is well approved and reliable since many years. Another problem, caused by lacking knowledge of the cost drivers of storing, is the uneconomic use of the available stores.
