Title: | Operational Workload Balancing in Manual Order Picking | Authors: | VANHEUSDEN, Sarah VAN GILS, Teun CARIS, An RAMAEKERS, Katrien BRAEKERS, Kris |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | Computers and Industrial Engineering, 141 (Art N° 106269) | Abstract: | A growing e-commerce market and increasing customer requirements put extra pressure on order picking operations. Collecting large quantities of relative small orders within limited time windows makes workload balancing in order picking a challenging and complicated task. Therefore, warehouse managers experience difficulties in balancing the daily workload of order pickers in every pick zone. This paper introduces the operational workload balancing problem within the domain of order picking. A mathematical model is introduced to describe the new order picking planning problem. Furthermore, an iterated local search algorithm is developed to solve the operational workload balancing problem efficiently and effectively. The benefits of daily workload balancing in order picking operations are analysed by means of a real-life case. | Keywords: | warehouse management;workload balancing;zone picking;meta-heuristic | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/30364 | ISSN: | 0360-8352 | e-ISSN: | 1879-0550 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.cie.2020.106269 | ISI #: | WOS:000517654200015 | Rights: | 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd. | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2021 |
