Order Batching is a family of optimization problems related to the process of picking items in
a warehouse as part of supply chain management. Problems classified into this category are …

ABSTRACT A literature review on the order picking process in warehouses is presented for
delineating the trends in time of research topics in this field. A total of 269 journal papers …

This paper proposes a new metaheuristic routing algorithm for the minimization of the travel
distance of pickers in manual warehouses. The algorithm is based on the ant colony …

This paper comprehensively discusses the existing state-of-the-art warehousing literature
and highlights concerned research issues as per the proposed taxonomy. All previous …

Retrieving items from storage locations in warehouses, commonly referred to as order
picking, is often performed by human workers. The high amount of human work involved in …

Abstract When dealing with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), the
allocation of items to the most convenient storage location depends on the vast amount of …

Nowadays there is more and more ecological awareness among people and every day
there are more people who think and act green. There are many ways how one can go …

We present a methodology for an artificial neural network (ANN) based metamodeling of
simulation models in the special case when online decision making routines are invoked …

This paper evaluates various routing policies (s-shape, largest gap, return and composite
policies) and introduces a novel heuristic called Minimum Heuristic (MinH) to solve the …

Purpose This research investigates how to optimize storage location assignment to
decrease the order picking time and the waiting time of orders in the staging area of low …
