3D Design Solution and Simulation of a Warehouse, Case of Free Zone City of NiŠ

The choice of warehouse technology and a variant design of a warehouse system are complex tasks demanding special attention. The paper puts focus onto the procedure of developing a technical project 3D design and simulation solution of a small railway-highway container terminal warehouse in the free zone-city of Nis. An analytical approach to the issue implies the application of the method of planning, modeling, simulation and analysis of warehouse systems. The methodology gains on significance when used with developed software packages in order to perform a number of computer simulations. The software package Flexim has been used in the work to address the variant warehouse design with selective pallet racking. The methodology enables a rather inexpensive variant design of warehouse systems and a relatively simple choice of an optimal solution.
