This paper deals with the optimization of storage and retrieval operations in the expedition warehouse of the metallurgical company. First, the problem of warehouse management in the metallurgical industry is defined. In the literature review, the approaches, methods, and results from studies of different authors are presented. In the main part of the paper, the idea of application of the principles and methods from the automotive industry in the metallurgical industry is described. For this purpose, the differences between the logistics processes in these two industries are described. Implementation of multicriteria inventory management for optimization of storage location assignment and subsequently the order picking is proposed. Conclusions from this paper will serve as a foundation for future work centered around the design of multicriteria support tools for decisionmaking processes related to storage and retrieval operations.
