Abstract: Abstract The design and operation of a warehouse entail many challenging decision problems. We begin by providing definitions as well as qualitative descriptions of two actual warehouses. This will then set the stage for an overview of representative operational research models and solution methods for efficient warehousing. Problems which will be exposed can be classified into three major categories: throughput capacity models, storage capacity models, and warehouse design models. We conclude by identifying future research opportunities.
