Simulation approach has been widely utilized for design and planning of a warehouse logistic system. As technology advances, better simulation tools have been developed. This enables decision makers to create more realistic models to represent the actual scenario. As a result, better evaluation could be made especially regarding dynamic factors within system. Thus, complex logistic problems could be solved. This paper reviews the fundamentals of warehouse logistic and the simulation tools available to analyze logistic problems.
