FREIGHT VILLAGES: MODERN WAREHOUSE DESIGN AND RAIL LINK ASPECTS
Abstract
Freight villages reflect a modern way of organizing logistics, transport and goods distribution activities. Warehouses are a basic element in such building complexes and their efficient planning and operation is essential for the viability of the system. Warehouse design requires a mixture of analytical skills and creativity. Although effort has been dedicated to define a global methodological design framework, the overwhelming majority of scientific papers on the subject address well-defined isolated problems. On the other hand, a practitioner may notice that a great number of warehouses offering efficient, cost-effective services are in operation nowadays and that a number of warehouse design manuals, tackling actual design and operation aspects exist.
