Layout of distribution centres for vegetables and fruits.
Author(s) : BROEKMEULEN R. A. C. M.
Summary
The author presents a hierarchical planning approach to handle layout problems in a distribution centre for vegetables and fruits. The specific properties of vegetables and fruits are the basis of a decomposition of the problem into two subproblems: facility design and product group assignment. For the facility design the user is supported with graphical tools. For the product group assignment the authors used a linear assignment model. This solution strategy was applied to a distribution centre in the Netherlands to demonstrate that the suggested approach works for real life problems.
