EKOL Logistics is one of the leading firms in the Turkish and European logistics sectors, with over 750.000 m2 of storage facilities and a fleet of 5500 vehicles serving most major European countries. This project focuses on an EKOL depot in Istanbul which performs staging and warehousing operations for Morhipo, an EKOL client and a major e-commerce firm in Turkey. Currently, the storage locations of most of the incoming warehouse-bound SKUs are randomly selected by the depot staff, due to a lack of a systematic storage location policy. The purpose of this project is thus to improve the storage put-away system while accounting for the fast-moving nature of the depot, with the primary goals of improving usage of storage space and order-picking performance.
