The lack of systemic methodology on this topic highlights the need to provide a DSS that can gather data from real-world instances and implement sets of effective heuristics to rapidly
support decision processes on warehousing design and manage-ment. The aim of this study is to illustrate an innovative architecture of DSS for the analysis of warehousing systems while
considering the layout features, storage equipment, allocation and assignment problems, adopting numerical simulations to assess results, statistics and performances.
