Cross aisle placement in order picking operations

摘要

Order picking operations need to efficiently process order in today's competitive environment. Previous research generally assumed on even placement of the cross aisles. This research examines the placement of cross aisles in order picking operations and the use of various storage policies. While previous research has examined cross aisles and storage policies, this research looks at them simultaneously. The results showed no difference between even and uneven placement of cross aisles and that within-aisle storage is better than across-aisle and random storage.
