Abstract
The paper deals with a complex warehouse simulation to accomplish a competent solution. It belongs to a group of articles where we are constantly trying to explore the use of warehouses and add further extensions. Greater consideration is concentrated on the use of recursive ABC method for warehouse management in extended concept. The aspiration of the simulation study is to prove whether recursive ABC method returns additional benefits in optimizing the warehouse in this case at a warehouse of different sizes. The complete simulation and the mathematical calculations are accomplished in the Witness Lanner simulation program. The goal of this simulation study is to observe a better solution using recursive ABC method in each part of the model multiple times. Both warehouses are established first on the ABC method, secondary are based on the recursion method. The focus is on two very different layouts of warehouses. Further, the simulation study contributes to propositions that can enhance warehouse management and thus decrease costs. The Witness simulation environment is used for modelling and experimenting. All mathematical computations and simulations are evaluated and measured, as well as all settings of input and output values. Description of the proposed simulation experiments and evaluation of achieved results are presented in tables.
