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 allwarehouse operations (from receiving
to shipping), problems andissues (e.g. storage allocation,
assignment, layout, vehicle routing) for industrial andservice
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.
