Abstract
In this paper, a three-dimensional multi-criteria mathematical model for class based warehouse layout is proposed. This model is intended to increase the effective use of space and decrease the material handling cost through allocating items with different sizes and volumes to the most appropriate locations within the warehouse. This model incorporates the realistic constraints normally present in a real-world warehouse planning such as aisle structures, closeness relationships, loading/unloading docks, products orientation, number of stacking and safety. The capability of the model is shown by applying it to a warehouse layout design for a dynamic food manufacturing and packaging company.
