The performance of distribution warehouses plays an important role in the global performance of any Supply Chain. Logistic services providers need to plan the layout evolution of the physical system they manage to adapt to their customers' requests. A clear, global and detailed vision of logistic activities is therefore necessary. A considerable amount of research has been conducted on the design of production systems. This article proposes a study of the transferability of certain production system design properties to distribution warehouse design.
