Abstract:
Order picking is the most labor-intensive and costly activity for almost every warehouse. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, two new routing heuristics, Ascending and Ascending+, for order-picking in a rectangular warehouse are proposed. Second, an investigation is conducted for studying the impact of order region on the performance of routing heuristics. Four experiments based on dividing the warehouse into twelve main regions and large numbers of randomly generated test problems are designed for validating the performance of the proposed heuristics. The computational results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the Ascending+ heuristic when compared with the performance of the previous published heuristics. The statistical analysis shows the significant impact of the order region on the performance of the routing heuristics. As a result, each order region is allocated to the best performed heuristic.
