Abstract

Excerpts from the report: With the trend toward a greater number of grocery items in supermarkets, more warehouse space will be occupied by low-volume items unless new methods or systems for handling these items are developed. The objective of this study was to compare three multilevel operations for low-volume grocery items with the conventional operation now being used, and to determine the conditions under which a multilevel operation may have lower costs than a conventional operation. Data for the multilevel operations were obtained by conducting studies and interviewing managers in three food warehouses. Data for the conventional operations were obtained by conducting studies in two warehouses and from secondary sources. Studies were conducted in one warehouse before and after the installation of a multilevel operation.
