The Use of Recursive ABC Method for Warehouse Management

Abstract

The paper solves complex warehouse simulation to achieve effective solution. Most attention is focused on the use of recursive ABC method for warehouse management. The aim of the simulation study is to verify whether recursive ABC method yield additional benefits in optimizing the warehouse. The complete simulation and the mathematical calculations are performed in the Witness Lanner simulation tool. The aim of this simulation study is to discover a better solution using recursive ABC method in each part of the model. The basic warehouse is based on the ABC method. Further, the simulation study provides recommendations that can improve warehouse management and thus reduce costs. The Witness simulation environment is used for modeling and experimenting. All mathematical calculations and simulations are evaluated and measured, as well as all settings of input and output values. Description of the proposed simulation experiments and evaluation of achieved results are presented.
