AB In autonomously organized block stacking ware-houses, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) control material handling without requiring any technical in-tegration or Warehouse Management System (WMS). In this paper, we present related decision problems and provide a short literature overview for each one. We found that many existing approaches do not exploit the full potential of available flexibility. By focusing on operational decisions, we introduce the autonomous block stacking warehouse problem (ABSWP) and dis-cuss major challenges which must be tackled by future solution approaches.
