Title: | Designing efficient order picking systems: The effect of real-life features on the relationship among planning problems | Authors: | VAN GILS, Teun CARIS, An RAMAEKERS, Katrien BRAEKERS, Kris De Koster, René B.M. |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 125, p. 47-73 | Abstract: | This study illustrates the relevance and importance of incorporating safety constraints, picker blocking, and vertical travel due to high level storage locations when developing order picking systems (i.e., deciding on zoning, storage, batching, and routing). Results show that safety constraints induce wait times, and cause additional traveling, picker blocking and consequent wait time can be minimized at the expense of additional setup time, and slow vertical travel results in additional travel and wait times. Consequently, ignoring these real-life features causes substantial performance inefficiencies. Robust policies for organizing operations efficiently are provided, even if the system is subject to real-life features. | Keywords: | Picker zoning; Storage location assignment; Order batching; Picker routing; Warehouse management | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/27969 | ISSN: | 1366-5545 | e-ISSN: | 1878-5794 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.tre.2019.02.010 | ISI #: | WOS:000467517000003 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2020 |
