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 ...
متن کاملOrder picking in an automatic warehouse: Solving online asymmetric TSPs
We report on a joint project with industry that had the aim to sequence transportation requests within an automatic storage system in such a way that the overall travel time is minimized. The manufacturing environment is such that scheduling decisions have to be made before all jobs are known. We have modeled this task as an online Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP). Several heuristic...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimization of a Pull-Strategy in the Order-Picking Area of a Distribution Warehouse
In this paper, an approach using simulation and optimization to maximize the throughput of an order-picking area is presented. The retrieval of pallets from a high-bay warehouse to the picking stations is formulated as an assignment problem and solved. To consider the dynamic e ects of the materials handling system (con icts, blocking), the optimal static assignment is validated with simulation...
متن کاملImproving Order-Picking Response Time at Ankor's Warehouse
Ankor is a wholesaler of tools and garden equipment, carrying such well-known brands as Skandia. Its warehouse is under continuous pressure to improve its efficiency while it is confronted with several special requirements in its order picking, like the requirement to retrieve heavy products first to prevent damage to other, breakable products. Our research goal was to determine a good combinat...
