The Warehouse Scheduling Problem is a deterministic multi-item invento
ry problem with a restriction on warehouse floor space available. We f
ormulate a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem for the objecti
ve of minimizing long run inventory holding and order costs per unit o
f time. We integrate algorithms for staggering orders, described in co
mpanion papers, with a heuristic to choose the order sequences. The re
sult is called Sequenced Staggering. We describe a new algorithm to ge
nerate order frequencies, called the powers-of-two-factor-of-three tec
hnique, as a generalization of Roundy's roundoff technique for powers-
of-two policies. We report on a computational study of four hybrid alg
orithms for solving the warehouse scheduling problem, including the co
mpeting algorithm of Gallego, Queyranne, and Simchi-Levi. Based on the
se results, we recommend the combination of powers-of-two frequencies
with Sequenced Staggering.
