Picking location metrics for order batching on a unidirectional cyclical picking line

Abstract: In this paper order batching is extended to a picking system with the layout of a unidirectional cyclical picking line. The objective is to minimise the walking distance of pickers in the picking line. The setup of the picking system under consideration is related to unidirectional carousel systems. Three order-to-route closeness metrics are introduced to approximate walking distance, since the orders will be batched before the pickers are routed. All metrics are based on the picking location describing when a… Show more
