Abstract

Warehouse operation is an important part of the production logistics process. The intelligent warehouse management not only requires hardware technical support, but also need a reasonable control technology. The growing market demand has made the manufacturing company's finished goods warehouse lack of capacity, how to use warehouse control technology to alleviate this problem is a valuable research topic. Workload control is a production planning and control technique that balances demand and capability, and its application is to solve the limited capacity of storage resources. Based on Workload Control, this paper expands the applicability of Workload control for the warehouse, including designing the sequencing rules for the temporary storage area, the order release rules for the warehouse, the storage assignment strategy for the warehouse, to control the process of warehouse operation and effectively balance demand and capacity of the warehouse, in order to reduce the average storage time and percentage of tardy order.
