In this document we present different aspects that are necessary to perform an excellent administration and control of distribution centers that corporations may have. If these ideas are implemented correctly in an efficient way, most of the productivity problems in the warehouse could be solved easily. Thus, it is important to evaluate the products' activity profile, the layout of the warehouse and the products' flow through the distribution center. The objective of this process is to obtain the conditions of a world class warehouse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the databases field, several methods have been proposed for the generation of the logical design of a data warehouse, on the other hand there are also studies that allow the storage and operation of fuzzy data in relational databases. This paper presents a methodological proposal with an MDA approach. which allows to generate the logical design of a fuzzy DW. The technique was used to identify the basic elements of multidimensional modeling and extends them to manage fuzzy attributes in the measures at a conceptual level, through the application of a sequence of transformations to avoid the generation of a logical fuzzy multidimensional design. A key element for this process is the extension of the CWM OLAP metamodel with fuzzy stereotypes. Currently there is no formal method that allows to realize this kind of transformations.
