Abstract
Warehouse management plays an important role for many efficient supply chains. In particular, warehouse management in the process industry (e. g., steel, paper) has the task to efficiently decouple the production rhythm of the producer from that of customers. Time- and cost-intensive set-up processes in the process industry provide the major motivation for operating in campaign mode, whereas customers (e. g., the automotive and electrical appliance industries) produce their goods in a more continuous way.
