Abstract:
System engineering methods are often used to design complex systems like airplanes. However, this method is also useful to propose solutions to redesign logistics systems such as warehouses and transport systems. This paper will apply system engineering in analyzing the late order problem at a pesticide company, thereby surveying stakeholders needs for warehouse re-designing. The functional analysis in the warehouse will be carried out in the concept analysis section to propose warehouse’s layout redesign alternatives that based on the demand of storage capacity and throughput. The authors also used the AHP method to select the final design layout. The detailed design section builds the operation process for the warehouse as well as the codification for commodity storage slots along with these tables forms that support for warehouse management. These solutions increase warehouse performance as well as the utilization in warehouses when applied in practice. Therefore, the system engineering method should be used in warehouse’s redesign

Abstract:
Refined layout is a basis of warehousing efficiency. Straight aisle is a typical feature of current warehouse internal layouts. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility of using curve aisles for warehouse layout. By Choosing typical non-traditional layouts and transforming their inclined cross-aisle trajectory into parabola, two parabolic aisle layouts, parabolic Flying-V and parabolic Fishbone, are constructed. For unit-load warehouses, based on the morphological characteristic analysis and the parabolic types selection, the picking distance model and the cross-aisle length formula are presented. Interval Numerical Simulation Method (INSM) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are adopted to solve the model respectively in order to verify the results. This research breaks through the realistic situation of straight aisle leading warehouse layout, and enriches the relevant layout theory. The calculation results of 100 warehouses with different sizes show that the picking distance of parabolic Flying-V could be reduced by 0.22-0.62 % compared with the straight layout, and the theoretical possible improvement space has been compressed by 2.42-12.26 %. Its length of cross-aisle is shortened by -0.03-3.10 %. The picking distance of parabolic Fishbone could be only reduced by 0.02-0.04 %. The theoretical possible improvement space has been compressed by 1.27-1.83 %. But its length of cross-aisle will increase by 4.63-19.50 % significantly. We believe that the layout of non-rectangular complex special-shaped warehouses based on curve trajectory aisles would become an important research topic. In addition, after some necessary modifications to the objectives and constraints, the proposed method in this paper may also be used for the arrangement of machines and devices in a workshop in principle.

Abstract:
We describe a method to generate layouts for unit-load warehouses that use multiple slot heights as a way to maximize warehouse space utilization. The problem has two parts: slots must be arranged into rack-bays, and rack-bays must be arranged into a layout. We describe two methods for the first subproblem, depending on whether the warehouse has directed picking and put-away. For the second, we describe a simulation model and a greedy procedure based on the duration-of-stay storage policy. We observe significant benefits of using multiple slot heights in unit-load warehouses with respect to footprint, expected travel time, and cost of racking. For a typical warehouse, we expect space savings between 25% and 35%, depending on the number of slot types, and savings of between 15% and 25% in annual operating costs.

Abstract:
Order picking is the part with the highest proportion of operation cost and time in the warehouse. The characteristics of small-batch and multi-frequency current orders reduce the applicability of the traditional layout in the warehouse. Besides this, the improvement of the layout will also affect the picking path, such as the Chevron warehouse layout, and at present, there is a lack of research on order picking with multiple picking locations under non-traditional layouts. In order to minimize the order picking cost and time, and expand the research in this field, this paper selects the Chevron layout to design and describe the warehouse layout, constructs the picking walking distance model of Return-type, S-type and Mixed-type path strategies in the random storage Chevron layout warehouse, and uses the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm to solve the picking walking distance generated by the Mixed-type path. Compared with the existing single-command order picking research, the order picking problem of multi picking locations is more suitable for the reality of e-commerce warehouses. Moreover, numerical experiments are carried out on the above three path strategies to study the impact of different walking paths on the picking walking distance, and the performance of different path strategies is evaluated by comparing the order picking walking distance with the different number of locations to be picked. The results show that, among the three path strategies, the Mixed-type path strategy is better than the Return-type path strategy, and the average optimization proportion is higher than 20%. When the number of locations to be picked is less than 36, the Mixed-type path is better than the S-type path. With the increase of the number of locations to be picked, the Mixed-type path is gradually worse than the S-type path. When the number of locations to be picked is less than 5, the Return-type path is better than the S-type path. With the increase of the number of locations to be picked in the order, the S-type path is gradually better than the Return-type path.

Abstract:
PT NCS LOGISTIC LINK is a Transportation Management Service company or commonly called Freight Forwarding. PT. NCS is also engaged in the rental of Warehouses. In the Warehouse at PT NCS LOGISTIC LINK, there is a problem with the layout of the storage of goods in the Warehouse which is still not optimal because the cost of Material Handling in the company is still high and also PT NCS LOGISTIC LINK, a company that manages warehouse rental for companies manufacture. The problems faced by PT NCS LOGISTIC LINK today are the problems that are often faced is the handling of incoming and outgoing goods in the company's warehouse, the company still does not have a defined system, so that the placement of goods in the warehouse is not neatly arranged so that the warehouse seems narrow. Likewise, the warehouse line or line layout is not clear, the placement of finished goods for both export and local products is placed in one location with the material (Completely Knock Down / CKD) in one warehouse location, there is no barrier between the goods belonging to one customer and another. other things, goods are placed to close the road area or forklift lanes and warehouse doors, and goods that have entered earlier are closed with new incoming goods, thus hampering the process of handling goods. With limited storage space, companies are required to use space effectively and efficiently so that storage activities are not hampered and can find the best layout that is more effective and efficient and does not hamper the delivery process. The method used in warehousing management is a shared storage approach in which the products that have the most shipping frequency and the ones that frequently go in and out are brought close to the entrance to minimize the distance of material handling movement. The results of the shared storage approach can minimize the material handling distance of the proposed layout is 1386 m, while the previous condition, the initial layout distance was 1900 m. Has a total range of 514 meters of total mileage. This means that the layout of the proposal could shorten the mileage through which warehouse workers take goods.

Abstract:
XYZ Company is a distributor focused on distributing floor and wall ceramic tiles. XYZ Company has its own warehouse for storing finished goods with Last In First Out rotation. The XYZ Company Warehouse has an area of 12,312 m2 with floor stack system. An issue currently risen to the warehouse is that the warehouse is currently overcapacity that urges the company to store some of its SKUs to be stored out of the block or even outside the warehouse. The overcapacity causes some problems including accessibility problem, distribution of storage and retrieval activities, and damaged product. In addition, higher throughput items allocation were not placed near to the input/output point so the material handling went through long travel to do its activities and it caused higher total travel distance. This research is focused on determining the warehouse layout to increase warehouse storage capacity and reduce travel distance. The procedure taken to solve the issue is by redesigning warehouse layout through heuristic approach method. The heuristic approach method is comprised by algorithms that can determine dimensions of storage zone and material assignment needed in designing warehouse layout. It is aimed at having some combinations of lane depths and storage zones to increase the warehouse storage capacity by considering the throughput of each SKU. The next step is allocating the items so it can reduce the monthly travel distance. The proposed design layout, shows that warehouse capacity increases by 35.53% or 5,319 pallet positions and monthly travel distance decreases by 24.58% or 216,032 meters. Keywords—heuristic approach, travel distance, warehouse layout.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development and implementation of an Interleaving Warehouse Layout Model. Traditionally, the space allocated to items in a warehouse is determined on the basis of inventory cost considerations. With space requirements taken as given, the actual assignment of items to locations in the warehouse is carried out independently. Assuming an interleaving ("dual command") order picking method and the simple economic order quantity inventory model, it is demonstrated that the quantity and location problems must be considered simultaneously in order to achieve a minimum total cost (order picking cost plus inventory cost). A heuristic optimization technique is developed and applied to a set of realistic, hypothetical problems. This model allows warehouse management to assess the tradeoffs in handling costs among various stock arrangements and reorder quantities to achieve a minimum total cost.

Abstract:
This research is devoted to the development of a mathematical model for an Interleaving Warehouse Layout. The space allocated to the items in the warehouse is most commonly determined on the basis of inventory cost of the items. Once the space requirements for the items are computed, the actual assignment of items to locations in the warehouse is carried out independently. An Interleaving Warehouse Layout is presented in this research to incorporate both reorder quantity and location of each item in a single comprehensive mathematical model of the warehouse. The advantage of this approach is that it considers the quantity and location problems encountered in a warehouse layout simultaneously. The mathematical model developed for the warehouse layout is optimized utilizing the computer code GRG2.5. The numerical results for two warehouses are summarized, discussed and compared with the data available in the literature.

Abstract:
To utilize space better, warehouses stack their products on top of each other. This increases the risk of injury for workers when storing and retrieving the products. Some warehouses counteract this by using robots to retrieve products to a picking area where a human worker picks the products needed to fulfill an order. This means that it is important for the robots to be effective when retrieving products to reduce the time the worker spends waiting in the picking area. This thesis focuses on the grouping of products in the containers when they are stored in the warehouse. The robots will then retrieve one container at a time and if the grouping of products is done correctly this should decrease the number of retrievals required to fulfill an order. In order to make the decision on which products to group together, an application was developed that data mined previous orders that the warehouse had received in an attempt to extract information about the products. With the help of this information the application then suggests different product layouts that focus on different goals when they are created. The different layouts are then compared against each other in order to determine which layout technique produces the best results. This algorithm has been named the PLO-algorithm. The results showed that when a product is placed with the PLO-algorithm, the most important aspect to consider is the relations it has with the other products it is grouped with. The results also showed that data mining orders that are too old can have a negative impact on the result if not handled correctly. The results also showed that when constructing the warehouse you should try to avoid restrictions that affect which products can be placed together as much as possible since these restrictions can impact the effectiveness of the warehouse in a negative way. The thesis draws the conclusion that there is a clear gain in effectiveness for warehouses to have a planed layout for their products. It is recommended to data mine previous orders to extract relations between the products if possible since this piece of information showed the best results in this thesis. It is also in the warehouse best interest to avoid as many restrictions as possible that affect which products can be placed together since this can impact the results in a negative way. It is also beneficial to not include data that is too old in the data mining since this can impact the results in a negative way if not handled correctly.
För att utnyttja sitt utrymme bättre staplar lagerhus sina produkter på höjden. Detta medför högre risker för personskada vid hämtning och lämning av produkter, en del lagerhus löser detta genom att använda sig av robotar som hämtar och lämnar produkterna i lagerhuset. Robotarna hämtar och lämnar produkterna i en plock zon där en mänsklig arbetare plockar de produkter som behövs för en order. Detta innebär att det är viktigt att robotarna är effektiva i sin hämtning av produkter för att minska väntetiden för arbetarna i plock zonen. I ett försök att effektivisera robotarna fokuserar denna avhandling på gruperingen av produkterna i behållarna. Detta innebär att beslutet om vilka produkter som ska grupperas tillsammans i samma behållare är viktig eftersom om rätt produkter lagras tillsammans så kommer detta minska antalet hämtningar och lämningar som krävs för att uppfylla en beställning. För att hjälpa till med detta beslut skapades en applikation som analyserade tidigare beställningar som varuhuset erhållit i ett försök att extrahera information om produkterna. Applikationen skapar sedan olika förslag på produkt placeringar där de olika förslagen fokuserar på olika mål för att undersöka vilket mål som är viktigast att fokusera på när en produkt ska placeras. Algoritmen i denna applikation har valts att kallas för PLO-algoritmen. Resultaten visade att när en produkt ska placeras med PLO-algoritmen så är det viktigt att gruppera produkten med produkter den har starka relationer till. Resultatet visade också att när data ska analyseras bör inte för gammal data analyseras då äldre relationer mellan produkter som inte stämmer längre kan påverka resultatet negativt om algoritmen ej hanterar detta på något sätt. Resultaten visade också att vid konstruktionen av lagerhuset bör restriktioner som begränsar hur produkter kan placeras, undvikas om möjligt då dessa kan påverka lagerhusets effektivitet negativt. Slutsatsen som kan dras är att ett lagerhus kan tjäna väldigt mycket på att ha en plan när de bestämmer hur deras produkter ska placeras. Om det finns möjlighet att analysera tidigare beställningar efter relationer mellan produkter så är detta rekommenderat då det visade bäst resultat i denna undersökning. Det är även till lagerhusets fördel att försöka undvika restriktioner på deras lagersystem när det byggs eftersom det möjliggör för fler kombinationer när produkterna ska grupperas. Till sist så visar avhandlingen att med datan som användes att det var fördelaktigt att inte göra analys på för gammal data, då detta ger sämre resultat.

Abstract:
Background Warehouse efficiency has gained a lot of attention in the recent years where racking layout and slotting of the SKUs are essential. The efficiency can be measured in the total traveling distance that occur in the warehouse. Two of the most central racking layout and slotting policies are the fishbone layout and ABC class-based slotting. These policies offer many new advantages for the traveling distance compared to others.   Objectives The purpose of this paper is to investigate how a combination of a fishbone layout and ABC class-based slotting affects the total traveling distance relative to a traditional layout with random slotting. This will then be analyzed in order to investigate to what degree it can be implemented depending on the situation a company has.   Methods The study was carried out as a simulation study, simulating the forklift traveling distance between four different warehouse layout and slotting configurations. This simulation was done by gathering of information in the form of observations, interviews, measuring and data from the EDI system of the company. The simulation was made in excel and featured eight possible scenarios depending on different events which could occur in the warehouse. The data in the study were then analyzed through a one-way ANOVA test, Scheffe’s post hoc test and t-Tests.   Results The result of the study shows that the different events which can occur in the warehouse is affected by a change in layout and slotting configurations. With the implementation of new layout and slotting configurations it is also shown that the forklift traveling distance in the warehouse can be reduced. The result also shows that the isolation of the effects that the respective layout or slotting policies provides reduces the forklift traveling distance individually as well as a combination would do.   Conclusions The conclusion is that the Fishbone layout with ABC class-based slotting is the optimal solution considering the reduction in traveling distance in a warehouse. When considering the implementation process and the potential benefits with the configurations, a general company is recommended to consider what amount of resources they are willing to invest before they carry out the implementation.   Delimitations This paper is delimited to the total travelling distance that occur in a warehouse because of the time restriction. The study will not examine the intangible part of a warehouse which means that the WMS- system will not be addressed. The paper will not create an investment calculus for the proposed solution.
Bakgrund Lagereffektivitet är ett område som dem senaste år fått mycket uppmärksamhet där layout av ställage och sortering av inventarier är väsentliga begrepp. Ett lagers effektivitet kan mätas i den totala transportsträckan som förekommer i ett lager. Två av de mest centrala principer för layout av ställage och sortering av inventarier är fiskbens-layouten och ABC klassbaserad sortering. Dessa principer erbjuder nya fördelar för den totala transportsträckan jämfört med de gamla.   Syfte. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur en kombination av fiskben-layout och en ABC-klassbaserad sortering kan påverka den totala körsträckan för truckar gentemot en traditionell layout med slumpmässig lagersortering. Resultatet kommer därefter analyseras och undersökas hur det kan implementeras för andra organisationer med olika förutsättningar   Metod Tillvägagången för denna studie var att göra en simuleringsstudie som skall simulera den totala transportsträcka som sker i ett lager. Fyra olika konfigurationer av ställage-layout och sorterings-policys simulerades. Denna simulering skapades genom införskaffandet av information i form utav observationer, intervjuer, mätningar av lager och data från företagets EDI-system. Simuleringen gjordes i Excel med innehåll av åtta olika scenarion beroende på olika händelser som kan uppstå i ett lager. Resultaten i studien blir därefter analyserad genom de olika dataanalyseringstesterna, ANOVA: en faktor, Scheffes post hoc test och därefter genom t-Tester.   Resultat Resultatet av studien visar hur de olika händelser som kan uppstå i ett lager förändras beroende på konfiguration av ställage-layout och sortering-policy. Vid implementering av ny ställage-layout och sorteringskonfiguration framstår det att transportsträckan kan reduceras. Resultatet visar också att en isolering av effekterna de olika konfigurationerna ger bidrar precis som en kombination, till reducerad transportsträcka.   Slutsatser Slutsatsen av denna studie är att fiskbens-layout i kombination med ABC klassbaserad sortering är den optimala lösningen med avseende på att minska den totala transportsträckan i ett lager. När implementeringsprocessen and de potentiella fördelarna med konfigurationerna övervägs rekommenderas ett generellt företag att överväga vilke resurer de är villiga att spendera innan de implementerar en ny lösning.   Avgränsningar Denna studie är avgränsat till den totala transportsträcka som sker inom ett lager. Detta på grund av den tidsgräns som existerar. Studien kommer inte undersöka den immateriella delen av ett lager. Detta betyder att lagerhantering systemet inte kommer undersökas. Investeringskalkyler kommer inte att göras för den lösning som föreslås.

Abstract:
Background: Nordic E-commerce group (NECG) consists of affiliated companies NordicInk, NordicFeel and PetsOnline. Three different types of companies in one warehouse area contribute to a wide range of products held in inventory. NECG’s problem derives in the fact that the company’s warehouse layout needs to handle a larger volume of sales, but is not capable of doing this in a structured way today. This matter of fact has led to new thoughts concerning improvements of the layout. The warehouse layout referred to in this thesis includes input and output doors, receiving and outgoing areas, material handling equipment and the placement of articles in inventory. Although article placement is per definition a part of warehouse layout, it will be given extra emphasis in this thesis as it is one of NECG’s most critical issues.   Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify NECG’s current warehouse layout and article placement and the problems associated with it, as well as to provide suggested actions for improvements. This is to be done so NECG can better utilize the warehouse space, and thus prepare the warehouse to handle a larger volume of sales.   Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews and observations at NECG, as well as through excel files containing transactional data for NordicInk’s products. Through a non-probability, snowball selection the respondents were chosen. There have not been any requirements from NECG regarding confidentiality in terms of the warehouse layout.   Findings: There are a number of suggested actions that NECG may apply to improve the warehouse layout; two separate doors for incoming and outgoing deliveries, one designated receiving and one outgoing area, and a flow shop layout combined with a U-form layout would be the most beneficial for NECG’s warehouse. Furthermore, NECG needs a more consistent article placement and it is recommended for the company to apply a floating location system to its high-picked products and a fixed location system for its low-picked products. This will make NECG take better use of the available space and a more structured warehouse will be achieved.
Bakgrund: Nordic E-commerce Group (NECG) består utav dotterbolagen NordicInk, NordicFeel och PetsOnline. Då lagret består utav tre olika företag finns ett brett utbud av produkter. NECG:s problem härrör i att företagets lagerlayout inte har följt med i företagets utveckling. För att kunna hantera en större försäljningsvolym, behöver lagerområdet kunna hantera nuvarande och framtida lagervolymer, men är inte kapabel till att göra detta på ett strukturerat sätt i dag. Detta har lett till nya tankar om förbättringsförslag kring lagerlayout. I detta examensarbete avser lagerlayout ingående och utgående portar, inkommande och utgående lagringsområden, materialhanteringsutrustning och artikelplacering i lager. Även om artikeln placering är per definition en del av lagerlayout, kommer det att ges extra fokus i detta examensarbete eftersom det är en av NECG mest kritiska frågor.   Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera NECG nuvarande lagerlayout och artikel placering samt vilka eventuella problem som finns, för att kunna ge förslag på förbättringar. Detta ska göras så att NECG kan utnyttja sitt lagerutrymme bättre och förbereda sig inför ökade försäljningsvolymer.   Metod: Kvalitativ och kvantitativ data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och observationer på NECG, samt genom excel filer innehållande transaktionsdata kring NordicInk’s produkter. Genom ett icke-sannolikt, snöbollsurval valdes respondenterna ut. NECG har inte uttryckt några krav om att sekretessbelägga arbetet kring lagerlayout.   Resultat: Det finns ett antal förslag på åtgärder som NECG kan tillämpa för att förbättra lagerlayouten: två separata dörrar för inkommande och utgående leveranser, ett designerat område för inkommande och ett för utgående leveranser samt en flow shop layout kombinerat med en U-form layout skulle vara mest fördelaktigt för NECG:s lager. Vidare behöver NECG en mer konsekvent artikelplacering och det rekommenderas för företaget att tillämpa ett flytande system för dess högfrekvent plockade produkter och ett fast system för dess lågfrekvent plockade produkter. Detta kommer att göra så att NECG bättre utnyttjar det tillgängliga lagerutrymmet och ett mer strukturerat system kommer att uppnås.  Bakgrund: Nordic E-commerce Group (NECG) består utav dotterbolagen NordicInk, NordicFeel och PetsOnline. Då lagret består utav tre olika företag finns ett brett utbud av produkter. NECG:s problem härrör i att företagets lagerlayout inte har följt med i företagets utveckling. För att kunna hantera en större försäljningsvolym, behöver lagerområdet kunna hantera nuvarande och framtida lagervolymer, men är inte kapabel till att göra detta på ett strukturerat sätt i dag. Detta har lett till nya tankar om förbättringsförslag kring lagerlayout. I detta examensarbete avser lagerlayout ingående och utgående portar, inkommande och utgående lagringsområden, materialhanteringsutrustning och artikelplacering i lager.

Abstract:
Historically, the paper market has consisted of few customers with high demands. However, the market has changed and nowadays it consists of many customer with lower demands, which causes problems in the warehouse process of Braviken Papermill. The main problem is that the utilization rates in the storage bays are low due to the relatively large bays compared to the order quantities. The purpose of this project is to develop a new set of bays that fits the current market and increases the utilization rates. The goal of the new set is to decrease the amount of manual operations and instead use the full potential of the allocation system.    The new set of bays consist of four bay types, dimensioned for 2, 4, 8 and 16 reel stacks respectively. Several experiments are done, and the new set of bays performs better than the current one, in terms of the utilization rates for storage events in the bays. The average utilization rate is significantly higher for the new set compared to the current. A decrease in effective storage space can be compensated by an increased degree of utilization. Also, it is beneficial with more and smaller bays in a market situation like the one of Holmen Paper.
