Trindade, Maria A. M.Moreira, Maria R. A.Sousa, Paulo S.

Our analysis shows that operations can be improved using our model. When comparing the strategy currently used in a real-life company with the designed model, we found that the new placement of products allowed a reduction of up to 22% on the picking distance. This saving is higher than that achieved with the creation of density zones, a procedure commonly used to deal with weight constraints, according to the literature.engStorage location assignment problem (SLAP)Correlated policyPrecedence constraintsconference object
