Development of an inventory classification module: Implementation in a warehouse management system

We develop in this work a prototype of an inventory classification module. The purpose is to improve the ABC classification functionalities of an existing WMS. The system we propose enables the use of three classification techniques including multicriteria approaches for inventory classification problem. Different classification scenarios with different criteria sets can thus be created and used. This will allow the managers to obtain a more effective inventory classification. We validated the functioning of the system using data from a pharmaceutical plateform in France.
