    Choice of order picking concepts by means of simulation tools
    (AGH University of Science and Technology Press, 2010) Gałązka, Marek; Jakubiak, Michał
    The pressure connected with cost cutting parallel to increase in consumer service quality, as well as speeding up the flow of goods are the result of worldwide economy trend connected with a big competition in the market. That's why in modern economy even small movements of goods on short distances are becoming more and more important. Order picking is the most laborious process in a warehouse, and according to different research, it equals to 55-65% of costs of all warehousing operations. On the basis of the existing model of a warehouse, which belongs to a logistic operator, a computer program has been created which examines the influence, of goods allocation in a warehouse and three heuristic concepts of planning the picking route, on the overall order picking time. By means of implemented simulation methods it is possible to match the appropriate order picking process to the needs of a given enterprise.
