Order Picking: A Survey of Planning Problems and Methods

نویسنده

  • Gerhard Wäscher
چکیده

Order picking – as a warehouse function – is often considered to be critical for the public manifestation of a supply chain. Underperformance can result both in unsatisfactory customer service and in high cost. In this paper the author will give an overview of planning problems and corresponding methods which have been suggested in the literature for the reduction of cost and the improvement of customer service in picker-to-product systems. In particular, the following central issues will be addressed: Item location, order batching, and picker routing.

Integrated Order Batching and Distribution Scheduling in a Single-block Order Picking Warehouse Considering S-Shape Routing Policy

In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to integrate batch picking and distribution scheduling problems in order to optimize them simultaneously in an order picking warehouse. A tow-phase heuristic algorithm is presented to solve it in reasonable time. The first phase uses a genetic algorithm to evaluate and select permutations of the given set of customers. The seco...

Order Batching in Order Picking Warehouses: A Survey of Solution Approaches

Order picking is a warehouse function dealing with the retrieval of articles from their storage location in order to satisfy a given demand specified by customer orders. Of all warehouse operations, order picking is considered to include the most cost-intensive ones. Even though there have been different attempts to automate the picking process, manual order picking systems are still prevalent ...

Order-batching methods for an order-picking warehouse with two cross aisles

Order batching is one of the methods used in warehouses to minimize the travel distance of pickers. In this paper, we focus on developing order-batching methods for an order-picking warehouse with two cross aisles and an I/O point at one of its corners. Each of these methods is made up of one seed-order selection rule and one accompanying-order selection rule. Eleven seed-order selection rules ...
