Abstract:
Logistics companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find new locations, as suitable sites are becoming scarcer and they are facing growing opposition: Environmental associations and local residents criticize air pollution, land consumption, negative impacts on the landscape and an increase in traffic noise; local politicians often prefer companies with higher business tax revenues and more (highly qualified) jobs. The pressure on the logistics industry to develop and implement more sustainable land use concepts is increasing. The objective of this article is to show approaches to how land use in logistics can be optimized. Mainly based on Pfohl’s (2010) logistics model, an important field for a solution is to be found in areas of space planning. For the basis of the article, a systematic literature research was carried out. The results show the possibilities of companies and municipalities being able to contribute to the optimization of land use for logistics processes through early planning. Careful planning of a warehouse and the associated use of efficient storage systems reduce the amount of space required and ensure improved processes in the area of warehouse and handling logistics. New warehouse space may also be avoided if the space already in use is optimized.
