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. Warehousing in the Global Supply Chain
