The management and control of warehousing system (i.e.,industrial storage system) activities and processes range among various design alternatives and involve different expertise. For
example, the problem of layout design, the definition of the total storage capacity, the determination of the number of aisles, the types of racks, the locations of the products (i.e., stock-keeping-units or SKUs) within the storage area, the stock per each SKU,and so on, involve interrelated areas and are challenging but canbe addressed through a unique modelling formulation. The majority of the contributions reviewed in the literature [1–3] focus on a single aspect of the warehousing problem, thereby ignoring the integration of multi-purpose approaches.
