To determine the optimal depth of storage racks for work-in-process goods in a warehouse.
Analyzed layout design challenges in a real warehouse case.
Utilized a genetic algorithm to solve a discrete optimization problem.
Focused on space allocation for multi-deep manual storage racks.
Identified optimal storage depth for each work-in-progress good.
Improved material handling efficiency under space and time constraints.
Enabled significant operational cost reductions through better layout design.
