Özet
Depending on the intensely competitive environment, firms focus on the improvement of any single part of their systems. At this point, warehouse management is one of the key parts of supply chain management and has evolved as a distinct area of expertise. There are various activities within warehouse management such as receiving, storing, picking and shipping. The layout of the warehouses directly affects these activities and hence has an important role regarding the elimination of wastes. The layout design including the location and arrangement of departments and business centers for reducing the costs and improving the performance of operations plays an important role in managing the stores efficiently. In this study, it is specifically focused on the utilization of the space in the warehouse of a white goods company. After providing the related literature about the topic, a mixed integer linear programming model is developed for the aim of increasing the space utilization rate. The optimum dimensions of the blocks (addresses) that the goods will be stored in are obtained and alternative scenarios are handled in the proposed model. Finally, the results are analyzed and savings for each scenario are presented.
