includes looking at the design of the warehouse which is recognized as an important aspect of warehouse management (Ackerman, 1999; Frazelle, 1988). Goods are received in large batched and are
placed in the warehouse according to type of goods and the profile of the turnaround, the most popular goods are placed in the areas, some of which are secure areas,
