EFFICIENT STORAGE LOCATION ASSIGNMENT USING GENETIC ALGORITHM IN WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

The Warehouse-Management System (WMS) primarily aims to organize the movement and storage space of materials within a warehouse and controls the associated transactions like receiving, put away, storage, order picking and dispatching flow of materials. This paper uses Storage Location Assignment using Genetic Algorithm (SLAG) to find the best location for goods and regulate the retrieval of goods in WMS. It reduces goods handling cost and improves space utilization. It considers the FIFO satisfaction, time of retrieval and frequency of retrieval of goods to find the best location of goods. It shows the increased performance of genetic algorithm in different frequent arrival of goods.
