Restructuring Of An Order Picking System For A Mail Order Company
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planning a new logistics center is a quite difficult job. Depending on the requirements there are a great number of possible design versions. The planner has to consider not only the present but also the future requirements. Up to now, the planner decides on the basis of experience which system will perform the requested services best. This paper illustrates the redesign of a new order-picking system in industry supported by a simulation tool of our institute designed especially for the rough planning. With the described project the road capability of the applied simulation concept is underlined. Several versions based on the requirements were investigated and evaluated. Key figures are calculated and a recommendation depending on performance and arising expenses is given.

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 کاملRestructuring of Logistics Processes : Case Study of Order Picking at Terminal C 2 of Grupo Luís Simões
Order picking is a labour-intensive operation and so it represents significant costs, with any underperformance leading to high operational cost for the whole supply chain. Hence, the objective of the present work is to assess and restructure the storage assignment in the picking area and the order picking process (namely the routing method) in order to enhance the order picking process of Luis...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملPerformance Calculation for Order Picking Systems by Analytical Methods and Simulation
“First, the order picking then the stock planning – In the order picking area the most stuff is usually employed. Here the customer service and the logistics quality are decided. The highest costs incur here.” [5] The planning of an order picking system is characterized by the complexity of the system. All attempts to standardize the planning process failed so far. The aim of two research proje...

Todays, the parent company has a great role in managing and monitoring subsidiaries and companies in promoting their industrial activities. But, the main problem for pharmaceutical parent companies is the lack of clarity and confusion of responsibilities between units. Successful parenting needs to create the element of 'fit' between the ways parent operates – parent characte...
