Routing order pickers in a warehouse with a middle aisle
This paper considers a parallel aisle warehouse, where order pickers can change aisles at the ends of every aisle and also at a cross aisle halfway along the aisles. An algorithm is presented that can find shortest order picking tours in this type of warehouses. The algorithm is applicable in warehouse situations with up to three aisle changing possibilities. Average tour length is compared for...
متن کاملTowards a Metaheuristic for Routing Order Pickers in a Warehouse
In this paper we will deal with the sequencing and routing problem of order pickers in conventional multi-parallel-aisle warehouse systems. For this NP-hard Steiner Travelling Salesman Problem exact algorithms only exist for warehouses with at most three cross aisles. We propose a new approach were the problem of routing order pickers in multiple-block warehouses is translated into a classical ...
متن کاملMulti-objective Routing and Scheduling of Order Pickers in a Warehouse
We present a two-phase model for planning and scheduling of order picking processes. In many warehousing environments order picking processes are organized according to the pick&pack principle. Pickers must build stabile loads during the picking process under strict time constrains. A genetic algorithm with Pareto elitist-based selection has been developed for this multi-criteria optimization p...
متن کاملIx. Order Batching with Time Constraints in a Parallel-aisle Warehouse: a Multiple-policy Approach
A commitment of delivery time is critical in some online businesses (De Koster, 2003). An important challenge to meeting customers’ needs is timely order picking which is also relevant to worker safety, item freshness, overall operational synchronization, and reduced overtime. We analyze an order batch picking situation where a trip is constrained by vehicle capacity and must be completed withi...
متن کاملIntegrated 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...
