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.

Warehouses form an important link in a supply chain network. Among a variety of activities in warehouses, order picking is the process of retrieving a number of items out of storage to meet customer orders. Today, as the transactions through direct sales are wide spread, warehouses often receive a large amount of small orders to be handled within tight time windows, which makes fast and efficient order picking more important than ever. This paper examines a new order picking method where the concept of bucket brigade (BB) is applied. Bucket brigade is a way of dynamically coordinating workers who progressively perform a set of operations along a flow line. In bucket brigades, a worker is not assigned his jobs in a static way. Each worker takes a job from his predecessor when he is free. We identify some considerations when bucket brigades are applied to order picking activities. A new BB picking protocol is presented to improve existing BB picking protocols. Through simulation experiments, the performance of BB order picking is evaluated under various logistics environments.

This paper is to review and organize performance strategies, issues, and measures for the efficient operation of order picking function. Order picking is the process of retrieving items from storage to meet a specific customer order, which is known to be the most labor-intensive and costly function among all the warehouse functions. This function is also important in that it has a critical impact on downstream customer service. For understanding the background of order picking and related performance issues, we will briefly introduce warehousing functions. Then we will introduce material handling within a warehouse and order picking strategies. Lastly, we will discuss about performance issues and measures in the domain of order picking operations. Productive and quality measures will be reviewed in more detail.

The picking process in distribution center is one of the most difficult and time-consuming process. The improvement of picking productivity is a core element which decides efficiency of the distribution center. The time to shipping on vehicles from receiving depends on the arrangement of items or picking methods. The Pick to Light system typically is used to improve the efficiency of order picking. In some cases the layout design of Pick to Light system has been performed rather than scientific analysis by a common experience. Therefore, this study analyzed the impact of picking performance by the zone arrangement method in order picking process of Pick to Light system.

협동설계시스템에서의 공유 오브젝트는 3D 도형이 되며, 사용자가 임의의 오브젝트를 picking하는 문제와 그 오브젝트에 어떤 조작을 취할 때 동시성제어(concurrency)하는 문제가 생긴다. 본 논문에서는 오브젝트의 picking이 마우스 포인터에서의 ray와 오브젝트간에 intersection을 계산하는 방법 외에 scene graph의 노드에 picking 속성을 주는 방법, bounds를 설정하는 방법, picking test의 범위를 한정하는 방법을 사용하여 computation의 부담을 줄이고 효과적인 동시성제어가 이루어지도록 action에 따라 공유(shared)lock과 전용(exclusive)lock을 사용한다.

Recent studies among various activities taking place in order-picking warehouse system have shown various researches to reduce the order-picking costs occupying more than half the total costs. One way of improving the warehouse system performance is to separate from a picking area and a reserve area in one unit rack. This study is concerned on the performance evaluation model for picking and replenishing facility of refrigerated warehouse using simulation method. In this study, we developed a mathematical model to compute the system performance solve this problem using simulation method. We demonstrate the system performance using AutoMod Simulator and verify the results to compare mathematical results of the system performance of warehouse system. A systematic approach proposed n this study for an optimal planning of order-picking warehouse is known as an effective method for planning of order-picking warehouse and a performance evaluation problem considering both picking and replenishment.

추잠기의 적엽정도가 지조의 수량에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 시험을 한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 추기에 있어서의 적엽의 영향은 조장이나 조률과 같은 형태적인 면보다는 조량과 같은 질적인 면에 더 크게 나타나고 있다. 2. 조량은 중간부적엽구를 제외하고는 추잠기의 적엽량과 반비례하여 무적엽구, 불반부적엽구, 중간부적엽구가 크고 상반부적엽구와 전적엽구는 작았는데 중간부적엽구는 추기의 적엽량이 많았는데도 조량이 컸다. (3) 춘잠기의 수량은 조량과 정비례의 관계에 있어 조량이 큰 무적엽구, 중간부적엽구, 하반부적엽구의 순위대로 많았고, 상반부적엽구, 전적엽구의 순으로 적었다. (4) 연간합계수량은 중간부적엽구가 가장 많아서 무적엽구에 비한다면 36％, 가행법인 전적엽구(상단 5잎 남기고)보다는 13％정도 많았다.

In this paper the order picking problem in warehouses is considered, a topic which has received considerable attention from the international academic body in recent years. The order picking problem deals with the retrieval of order items from prespecified locations in the warehouse, and its objective is usually the minimization of travel time or travel distance. Hence, a well-thought order picking policy in combination with an appropriate storage policy will enhance warehouse efficiency and reduce operational costs. This paper starts with a literature overview summarizing approaches to routing order pickers, assigning stock-keeping units to pick locations and designing warehouse layouts. Since the layout design might affect both storage and routing policies, the three factors are interdependent with respect to order picking performance. To test these interdependencies, a simulation experiment was set up, involving two types of warehouse layout, four types of storage policy, five well-known heuristics and five sizes of order picking list. Our results illustrate that from the point of view of order picking distance minimization it is recommended to equip the warehouse with a third cross aisle, although this comes at the cost of a certain space loss. Additionally, we propose a set of most appropriate matches between order picking heuristics and storage policies. Finally, we give some directions for further research and recommend an integrated approach involving all factors that affect warehouse efficiency.

여기서 제시된 협동설계시스템은 인터넷망과 웹브라우저를 이용하여 공유된 가상 공간에서 협동작업이 이루어진다. 협동설계 참여자들은 인터넷을 통해 솔리드 모델러 서버에 접근하여 원하는 3D도형을 생성하고 조작한다. 이때 공유된 여러 오브젝트 중 임의의 오브젝트를 선택하는 picking문제와 여러 참여자들이 한 오브젝트에 어떤 조작을 가할 때 제어하는 concurrency 문제가 중요하게 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 오브젝트의 picking이 마우스 포인터에서의 투사되는 선과 오브젝트간에 겹치는 부분을 계산하는 방법 외에 Java 3D를 이용하여 scene graph의 노드에 picking 속성을 주는 방법, bounds를 설정하는 방법, picking test의 범위를 한정하는 방법을 사용하여 계산하는 부담을 줄이고 효과적인 picking이 이루어지도록 한다. 이어서 picking된 오브젝트에 대해 협동설계에 참여한 사람이 공유작업공간에서 action에 따라 shared lock과 exclusive lock을 사용하여 효과적인 동시성제어가 이루어지도록 한다.

This paper deals with an order picking system in an automated storage and retrieval system(AS/RS). For the order picking system, two fundamental policies, the batching and the picking policies, must be selected. The batching policy determines the manner in which orders are combined for picking in each trip of picking machine. The picking policy determines the sequence of all items in each group of orders. Most of studies for the batching policy doesn't consider dynamic arrivals and due dates of orders. Therefore, we present an batching policy which considers dynamic arrivals and due dates of orders. The presented batching policy is efficient for the automated storage and retrieval system which is connected with a manufacturing system.
