Abstract
The paper shows the evaluation of applying models to improve efficiency in management of warehouses used in shipyards, focused on pick up, packing, and shipping activities, supported among others on the proposal by Rosenblatt and Roll (1984) to optimize the layout for storage and handling of materials needed for ship construction and repair.
Besides proposing the best physical layout for the storage of goods, the model seeks to minimize three types of costs: costs related to the initial investment (construction and maintenance), shortage costs, and costs associated with storage policies. The optimal design is found through analytical optimization and simulation techniques.
