In this article an extensive review and categorization of storehouse problems is presented. The
storehouse problems are viewed in a new way. This view classified the storehouse problems into
three categories. These categories are order picking and routing methods for order pickers, order
batching and batch construction, and product allocation and layout of order picking area. The fust
category is relevant to bow the orders picking and routes are designed in the aim of minimizing the
distance traveled to provide the customer's orders at the promised dates of ordered quantity.
Second category is relevant to grouping orders into batches that are picked in a single tour and of a
targeted objective of reducing the mean travel time per order. The third category is concerned with
inventory management and storage location assignment in order to satisfy the customer's orders in
an appropriate delivery date. The survey exhibits that the cited categories are tackled in different
importance weights. The paper presents the main tools used as solver techniques for the
considered categories.
