Abstract
The paper focuses on identifying the influence of warehouse size to effectiveness of products storage policy. In the paper different storage policy was analysed. To evaluate the effectiveness of selected order-picking warehouses the dedicated software for simulation of orders picking process was used. The effectiveness of product allocation planning was evaluated by the total time that is needed for the order-picking process. For the route planning it was assumed that the nearest product was appointed as next to pick. In our research, a discrete event simulation analysis by using special software called PickupSimulo was performed. In this research different warehouse sizes were investigated. The layout ranged from 2.188 m2 to 22.021 m2. Based on the simulation study it is possible to support warehouse managers for choosing the best products storage policy. This will reduce retrieval time and improve the effectiveness of order picking.
