1. Stored bundle The input impulse to the decision-making process is information about the products being rolled or about the planned rolling campaign, for which suitable storage sites must be selected. This information contains all the necessary characteristics of the newly created bundles and is exported from the SAP system. 2. Expedition warehouse status Simultaneously with the information about the stored bundle, data on the current situation in the warehouse in terms of available storage, handling and personnel capacities enter the system. Another considered factor is the planned expeditions. Information about the current situation in the warehouse is exported from the warehouse information system WAS. 3. Aspiration level filter Once all the factors influencing the decision-making process have been processed and evaluated, the system determines the set of allowable storage locations through a series of filters set for the aspiration level. 4. AHP evaluation The set of potential storage places is evaluated using the created AHP model. The evaluated places are sorted according to the achieved evaluation and the system recommends the best rated storage place as optimal for storing the considered volume. The AHP method was selected for solution of the evaluation of allowable storage locations due to multi-criteria nature of the problem. Conflicting priorities of production and logistics department leads to need of assessment of different weight to

each characteristic of storage locations. 5. Optimal storage space selection

The last step is to select the optimal storage location for the volume. The proposed system is intended only for decision support. It is not a independent control system. The output of the system is the recommendation of the optimal place and the arrangement of all suitable places. The final decision is up to the responsible employee, who has the option not to accept the recommendation and decide otherwise.
