ABSTRACT
Abstract Carousels have been used in virtually all physical storage environments. In this chapter, we report on a wide range of carousel applications. One of the important issues in operating carousels is the management of storage location and order picking. The rest of the chapter is devoted to providing a brief history about the interest in studying storage-location and order-picking problems, and an extensive literature review of the different models that have been studied in this area. We conclude by providing a list of challenging open problems.
