| Summary: | The fact that the production and consumption amounts are different from each other gives a dynamic feature to the concept of storage. In addition, an effective storage activity hinges upon the selection of the right warehouse location that takes into account capital and labor investments; minimizes the transportation cost and time. The aim of this study is to investigate the preliminary researches in the selection of the warehouse location selection and to present information on which success factors and methods are preferred. Within this scope, many academic studies have been examined by filtering various databases. According to the results of the study, the most used methods in warehouse location selection are multi-criteria decision making methods such as AHP, ANP and TOPSIS; and the most commonly used success factor is determined as the cost-based factors. |
