Title Order batching and picking in a synchronized zone order picking system
نویسنده
چکیده
Order picking has been considered as one of the most critical operations in warehouse. In this study, we propose an analytical approximation model based on probability and queueing network theory to analyze order batching and picking area zoning on the mean order throughput time in a synchronized zone picker-to-part order picking system. The resulting model can be easily applied in the design and selection process of order picking systems.

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...
متن کاملOrder 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 ...
متن کاملLarge-scale order batching in parallel-aisle picking systems
This paper discusses an order batching formulation and heuristic solution procedure suitable for a largescale order picking situation in parallel-aisle picking systems. Order batching can decrease the total travel distance of pickers not only through reducing the number of trips, but also by shortening the length of each trip. In practice, some order picking systems retrieve 500~2000 orders per...
متن کاملAggregation of orders in distribution centers using data mining
This paper considers the problem of constructing order batches for distribution centers using a data mining technique. With the advent of supply chain management, distribution centers fulfill a strategic role of achieving the logistics objectives of shorter cycle times, lower inventories, lower costs and better customer service. Many companies consider both their cost effectiveness and market p...
متن کاملOrder Batching in a Bucket Brigades Order Picking System with Consideration of Picker Blocking
A bucket brigade strategy allows workloads in warehouses to be distributed with a minimal level of managerial planning and oversight. However, the variability and uncertainty of the pick locations within a particular order or batch often results in picker blocking and subsequent losses in productivity. This study formulates an order batching model for robust blocking control of dynamic bucket b...
