Abstract

The distribution of the articles in the warehouse has a high impact on the logistic costs of the enterprises. There are different distribution strategies for a warehouse; one of them is the configuration by frequency of access. This work presents an academic tool, developed in Excel that implements that strategy in a warehouse with two-faced shelves and independent entrance and exit accesses. The purpose of this tool is that students can analyze and comprehend more easily the impact that the distribution of the articles has on the traveling times on a warehouse, on the labor costs and on the pick density.
