Abstract
In a warehouse, plates listed in the different orders are placed mixed. Nevertheless, when plates are going out, a group of plates listed in the same order should be sequentially loaded on a transporter. Since the access to the plates is only from the top of the stack, it happens often that we have to move some plates on a temporary place in order to access a plate below them. This paper deals with a problem of sequencing orders for transportation to minimize the number of plates temporarily moved.
