Researchers Say Fishbone Rack Layout Can Improve Efficiency and Reduce Warehouse Costs

摘要

University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, Ark.) researchers have reportedly found a way to make some distribution centers more efficient. "Our results suggest that for unit-load warehouses, radically new designs could lead to faster retrieval rates and significantly reduced costs for operating distribution centers," said Russell Meller, professor of industrial engineering and director of the Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution.
