A comprehensive review of warehouse operational issues

This paper comprehensively discusses the existing state-of-the-art warehousing literature and highlights concerned research issues as per the proposed taxonomy. All previous reviews broadly focus on warehouse design and operational issues ignoring performance measures affecting each function of warehousing and overall productivity. Therefore, this paper tries to identify the specific performance measures and methods, and explore their impact on the overall logistics system. Each individual section has been concluded with important findings and these are summarised along with converged research guidelines in the last section. The proposed gaps would provide a future road map for research in existing and other unexplored directions in warehouse operations and management.
