Abstract (EN): The nature of warehouse design requires the manipulation of large amounts of data and is often an iterative process that forces the designer to go through the different design phases several times before reaching the final solution. This suggests an integrated computer environment that can give support to the user during all the design phases. The need for a flexible tool, easier to use, lead to the development of a Decision Support System: AWARD (Advanced WARehouse Design). This paper presents further developments of the DSS and shows a successful example of application of the new functionalities: a simulation model of a full automated warehouse developed for EFACEC, a large Portuguese company in the warehouse design, building and consultancy business.
