Picker routing in scattered storage warehouses: an evaluation of solution methods based on TSP transformations
August 08, 2024
New publication of the Chair for Management Science/Operations Research
One major challenge in e-commerce warehouses is to pick a vast number of small orders from a large assortment under high time-pressure. Scattered storage, a warehousing strategy in which items of the same product are located at different positions within the warehouse, meets these requirements and is successfully implemented in many e-commerce warehouses worldwide. Still, reducing the travel times of pickers is a challenging task (even more so since products can be picked from multiple storage locations in scattered storage warehouses), such that a lot of research has been conducted on the so-called picker routing problem, aiming to find a shortest picking tour through a (scattered storage) warehouse.
