Title: | Batch Order and Discrete Order Picking Integrated with Vehicle Routing Decisions | Authors: | MOONS, Stef JANSSENS, Gerrit K. RAMAEKERS, Katrien CARIS, An |
Issue Date: | 2021 | Source: | Information Technology and Management Science (Online), 24 , p. 60 -67 (Art N° 4) | Abstract: | In a business-to-consumer (B2C) context, customers order more frequently and in smaller quantities, resulting in a high number of consignments. Moreover, online shoppers expect a fast and accurate delivery at low cost or even free. To survive in such a market, companies can no longer optimise individual supply chain processes, but need to integrate several activities. In this article, the integrated order picking-vehicle routing problem is analysed in an e-commerce environment. In previous research, a mathematical programming formulation has been formulated in literature but only small-size instances can be solved to optimality. Two picking policies are studied: discrete order picking and batch order picking. The influence of various problem contexts on the value of integration is investigated: a small picking time period, outsourcing to 3PL service providers, and a dynamic environment context. | Keywords: | Logistics integration;production distribution problem;production scheduling;vehicle routing | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/36498 | ISSN: | 2255-9094 | DOI: | 10.7250/itms-2021-0009 | Rights: | This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | vabb 2023 |
