abstract = "This work is focused on the work-flow optimization in
logistic warehouses and distribution centres. The main
aim is to optimize process planning, scheduling, and
dispatching. The problem is quite accented in recent
years. The problem is of NP hard class of problems and
where is very computationally demanding to find an
optimal solution. The main motivation for solving this
problem is to fill the gap between the new optimization
methods developed by researchers in academic world and
the methods used in business world. The core of the
optimization algorithm is built on the genetic
programming driven by the context-free grammar. The
main contribution of the thesis is a) to propose a new
optimization algorithm which respects the makespan, the
loading, and the congestions of aisles which may occur,
b) to analyse historical operational data from
warehouse and to develop the set of benchmarks which
could serve as the reference baseline results for
further research, and c) to try outperform the baseline
results set by the skilled and trained operational
manager of the one of the biggest warehouses in the
middle Europe.",
