| Abstract [eng] |
Order picking has long been identified as the most labour-intensive and costly activity for almost every warehouse; the cost of order picking is estimated to be as much as 50% of the total warehouse operating expense. Any underperformance in order picking can lead to unsatisfactory service and high operational cost for its warehouse, and consequently for the whole supply chain. In order to operate efficiently, the order picking process needs to be robustly designed and optimally controlled. This thesis focus on routing policies. The objective of routing policies is to sequence the items on the pick list to ensure a good route through the warehouse. These policies could include simple heuristics or optimal procedures. Developed order picking system supports heuristics and enables to create individual picking routes. So it is eliminated the need to reorganize warehouse physically. RF technology and routing support allow order picking system to operate efficiently and free from errors. |
