With increased globalization and offshore sourcing, global supply chain management is becoming an important issue for many businesses as it involves a company's worldwide interests and suppliers rather than simply a local or national orientation. The storage systems significantly affect the level
of quality of products, the customer’s service level, and the global
logistic cost. The mission of warehousing systems design, control and
optimization is to effectively ship products in the right place, at the
right time, and in the right quantity (i.e. in any configuration)
without any damages or alterations, and minimizing costs. Warehousing in
the Global Supply Chain presents and discusses a set of models, tools
and real applications, including a few case studies rarely presented
with a sufficient detail by other literature, to illustrate the main
challenges in warehousing activities. This includes all warehouse
operations (from receiving to shipping), problems and issues (e.g.
storage allocation, assignment, layout, vehicle routing) for industrial and service systems as parts of global supply chains.
Advanced and effective solving methods are also illustrated and the
discussed case studies help the reader to quickly apply the proposed
models and techniques/algorithms. Warehousing in the Global Supply Chain
is useful to managers and practitioners of industry and service sectors
for the determination and modeling of the critical issues concerning
warehousing systems planning and design. It is a valuable source of
information for engineering students, doctoral and post-doctoral
students, and researchers of academic institutions who are searching for
advanced modeling approaches and solving techniques to complex logistic
decision making problems.
