Abstract

This paper is to analyze the picking lead time for picking batch size in a warehouse system and to get minimum picking batch size that is the warehouse system feasible. The warehouse system consists of aisles and racks, which two racks face each other through aisle. The products are picked from the storage locations by batch size. The probability that items are picked in the each row of the rack in the aisle for order picking activity is derived. The picking lead time for picking batch size is the time passed from the first picking location to arrival at starting location in aisle picking all items included in a batch size. The picking lead time for picking batch size in an aisle is analyzed. The picking lead time for picking batch size in the whole warehouse system is obtained. The warehouse system is feasible if all items that customers order are picked from the storage locations for same period. The picking batch size that is the warehouse system feasible is obtained. The problem is analyzed, a solution procedure is developed, and a numerical example is shown to explain the problem.
