Impact of zone picking, storing and routing on average orderpicking time

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of an analysis of the influence of different factors on zone picking efficiency, as measured by the average order-picking times and the average utilization of zone pickers. The study considers two versions of zone picking: sequential and synchronized. The research was performed using simulations and the Warehouse-Real Time Simulator. The results indicate that zone picking has to be well organized. Improper choice of storage policy to routing method while zone picking may lengthen order-picking times as compared to those without zone division. However, proper selection can ensure optimal routes. When fast moving items are similarly distributed in all zones, the problem of imbalance of zone utilization for sequential picking hardly exists, and for synchronized picking does not exceed 20%.
