CONCEPTION FOR SELECTION OF ADEQUATE WAREHOUSE MATERIAL HANDLING STRATEGY

Abstract

Warehousing has been traditionally viewed as non-value-added activity but the identification and elimination of losses in logistics have a great importance for the production companies, because mostly this determines their competitiveness. So far decreasing of lead time in logistics processes have been in focus mainly just in production fields, at the same time the adequate selection of warehouse storage material handling strategies has gained a significant importance in the interest of smooth and effective supply of production processes. This thesis focuses specifically on presently applied warehouse storage material handling strategies and their adequate selection concept, which will be presented in this publication.
