An integrated model of storage and order-picking area layout design

In many warehouses both storage and order-picking process take place in same physical area. Designing layout of such area using one of existing developed models for optimal layout either for storage or picking area could optimize it only for one type of process. This paper presents an idea and initial attempt to combine those models into one integrated model, aimed to design optimal physical layout minimizing expected total travel distances of all operations. Presented analysis for different cases provides useful guidelines for designing layout of storage and low-level order picking area.
