Abstract

The warehouse activity has an important role in increasing production. A warehouse may be defined as a place used for the storage or accumulation of goods. The placement of raw materials in warehouse can be a serious problem. To solve the problem, warehouse layout planning is needed. The objective of this paper is to find out the gap between the methods that used in warehouse layout planning. The methods that can be used are Dedicated Storage, Class-Based Storage, Shared Storage, Randomized Storage and also Fishbone Layout. Each methods are used to reduce material handling distance so the flow of raw material will reach an optimum solution.
