Although the results obtained by our methods are promising and improved
the warehouse management of our paper production company substantially, the
further improvement potential is high. For example, future work should concentrate on the parallel optimization of the paper production process and storage
management. The production sequence of paper rolls should be adapted
such that the storage locations could be better utilized without raising con
icts
during stock removals. For this purpose, a deeper investigation of the ordering
process might be necessary such that the data administration is enhanced and
shipping dates are more reliable in the future since the most con
icts emerge
due to customers picking their orders too late (or too early).
