“…In this paper, we considered a fully manual system, as currently automation plays a subordinate role for U-shaped order picking zones. However, automation becomes increasingly important for order picking in general, where it has achieved significant performance increases in recent years (Jaghbeer et al 2020). Looking into future developments for U-shaped picking areas, a logical step would be to automate depots, enabling them to (autonomously) relocate while the picker processes pick tours.…”

This paper develops new solution procedures for the order picker routing problem in U-shaped order picking zones with a movable depot, which has so far only been solved using simple heuristics. The paper presents the first exact solution approach, based on combinatorial Benders decomposition, as well as a heuristic approach based on dynamic programming that extends the idea of the venerable sweep algorithm. In a computational study, we demonstrate that the exact approach can solve small instances well, while the heuristic dynamic programming approach is fast and exhibits an average optimality gap close to zero in all test instances. Moreover, we investigate the influence of various storage assignment policies from the literature and compare them to a newly derived policy that is shown to be advantageous under certain circumstances. Secondly, we investigate the effects of having a movable depot compared to a fixed one and the influence of the effort to move the depot.

“…The advancement of technologies in logistics systems can improve performance and reduce errors and costs. For example, in the OP system, deciding upon assistive technologies such as paperless picking, and AGV/AMR assisted picker to assist order pickers in picking the appropriate product from the storage locations (Jaghbeer, Hanson, and Johansson 2020).…”

“…For example, the use of VR/MR (Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality) in an assembly process assists the operator in the assembly of the product by providing step-by-step instructions (Wolfartsberger, Haslwanter, and Lindorfer 2019). In an OP process, the tools required to pick-by-voice include a headset, microphone, and a barcode scanner to crosscheck the item (Jaghbeer, Hanson, and Johansson 2020).…”

Many companies, despite there being opportunities for automation in production and logistics (P&L) systems, still rely on human workers due to their cognitive and motor skills. Taking Human Factor (HF) aspects into consideration when making P&L system design and management decisions is therefore important, an ignorance of HF potentially resulting in operator fatigue, discomfort, subsequent injuries and negative consequences for operator performance and the P&L system. A review of the literature shows that the majority of studies that take HF into consideration focus either on designing the workplace or on operation planning activities. There is also still a gap in the literature. Little has been published on P&L systems that incorporate HF and that combine different levels of shortterm operational policy decisions (e.g. job allocation) and long-term system characteristic decisions (e.g. layout design). Current state-of-the-art frameworks that support the design and management of P&L systems and that take HF into consideration rarely consider different decision levels. This study proposes a new framework that incorporates HF into P&L systems by combining different levels of decisions to improve performance, quality, and well-being.

“…For the more price-sensitive customers to conduct discount promotions, issue coupons or full reductions, for the price is not sensitive to the original price of customer sales, for frequent purchases of regular customers can use exclusive prices. In terms of price system differentiation, the platform does have a lot to learn and learn from, in addition to the common discount prices, coupons, reductions, gifts, there are fan-only prices, member prices, exclusive prices for regular customers, the first single gift [21]. Fan exclusive price, as the name suggests, is to become a fan of the store, usually follow the store can become a fan, by setting a fan exclusive price, you can enjoy the exclusive price, and nonfans are the original price.…”

This paper takes e-commerce as the research object, based on the combination of wireless sensor network research results, using relevant theoretical analysis tools to identify several major problems in the marketing of enterprises. Then, the internal environment conditions of developing e-commerce are comprehensively analyzed through human resources, financial resources, marketing ability, and platform building ability, and the advantages and disadvantages of the enterprise itself are presented in a three-dimensional manner to help the enterprise understand its situation. Firstly, the overall hardware structure design of this paper is analyzed, and the network marketing node hardware design is proposed as the core of the system hardware design, and the marketing node hardware design circuit diagram is given through the selection of marketing node sensors, the selection of wireless communication modules, and the selection of marketing node microprocessors. Based on the specific application of the wireless sensor network in the e-commerce marketing system, the number of cluster selection is reduced by calculating and setting the remaining energy threshold of the cluster head for the whole network. The optimal cluster head is searched for based on the density of marketing nodes in different regions and the minimum energy consumption of the cluster after the division of the region within the cluster, and the original cluster head is replaced; the density of marketing nodes in different e-commerce is different, and the optimal number of cluster heads is searched for based on the minimum energy consumption of the network. In summary, three strategies are implemented to improve the design of wireless sensor network routing, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through experimental simulation. Through the analysis of e-commerce operation, the intracluster congestion control is achieved by a dual-cluster head strategy with intracluster push selection of subcluster heads; the network nonuniform hierarchy and resource scheduling strategy achieve intercluster congestion mitigation and decongestion. A minimum energy consumption multihop path tree is also proposed here, which can achieve the lowest energy consumption of marketing nodes and networks and improve the link quality relative to other transmission paths. After simulation experiments, the effectiveness and reliability of the congestion algorithm are verified. A guarantee scheme is provided for the development of e-commerce marketing strategies to help breakthroughs and developments in marketing management, and an attempt is also made to provide a template for other enterprises to follow.
