Type of article: Article

Summary

Order-picking, the process of retrieving items from storage locations in response to a specific customer request, is the most laborious and the most costly activity in a typical warehouse. As 50% of the total order-picking time is spent on travelling, reducing travel distances is one of a warehouse designer's objectives. In this paper an extensive simulation analysis of routing and storage policies in order-picking systems is presented. The best combinations of routing and storage policies are defined with a comparison between routing heuristics and an optimal algorithm.
