The storage systems significantly affect the level of quality of products, the customer’s service level, and the global logistic cost. The mission of warehousing systems design, control and optimization is to effectively ship products in the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantity (i.e. in any configuration) without any damages or alterations, and minimizing costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarehousing in the Global Supply Chain\u003c\/i\u003e presents and discusses a set of models, tools and real applications, including a few case studies rarely presented with a sufficient detail by other literature, to illustrate the main challenges in warehousing activities. This includes all warehouse operations (from receiving to shipping), problems and issues (e.g. storage allocation, assignment, layout, vehicle routing) for industrial and service systems as parts of global supply chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced and effective solving methods are also illustrated and the discussed case studies help the reader to quickly apply the proposed models and techniques\/algorithms. \u003ci\u003eWarehousing in the Global Supply Chain\u003c\/i\u003e is useful to managers and practitioners of industry and service sectors for the determination and modeling of the critical issues concerning warehousing systems planning and design. It is a valuable source of information for engineering students, doctoral and post-doctoral students, and researchers of academic institutions who are searching for advanced modeling approaches and solving techniques to complex logistic decisionmaking problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarehousing in the Global Supply Chain\u003c\/i\u003e presents and discusses a set of models, tools and real applications, including a few case studies rarely presented with a sufficient detail by other literature, to illustrate the main challenges in warehousing activities.
