Abstract: The class-based storage distributes the products among a number of classes and reserves a region for each class within the storage area. This paper discusses three important issues in class-based storage location assignment: reduction in storage space requirements under class-based policy compared to dedicated policy, cube-per-order index (COI) and general orderings of products in storage class formation and combined inventory staggering and class-based storage assignment. Accordingly, class-based storage assignment problems are classified and methodologies for class-based storage assignment available in the literature are reviewed. The paper concludes by suggesting some future research in the area of class-based storage assignment.
