Abstract
This research aims to design a warehouse that is operationally flexible and cost effective. In this this paper, we find the optimal shape of a non-traditional cross aisle and the partitions of the class-based storage, simultaneously, by minimizing the pick distance. Computational results suggest that retaining the design of optimal cross aisle positions of any storage policy has negligible effect on pick distance no matter what type of storage is actually used. We show that an alternative robust design, using a simplified cross aisle, is equally promising in terms of pick distances in comparison to the existing non-traditional cross aisle.
