  • A decade of academic research on warehouse order picking: trends and challenges
    Babiche Aerts (University of Antwerp)
    Co-authors: T. Cornelissens, K. Sorensen
    Abstract:
    Warehouses play a key role in supply chain operations. Due to the recent trends in, e.g., e-commerce, the warehouse operational performance is exposed to new challenges such as the need for faster and reliable delivery of small orders. Order picking, defined as the process of retrieving stock keeping units from inventory to fulfil a specific customer request, is seen as the most labor-intensive activity in a warehouse and is therefore considered to be an interesting area of improvement in order to deal with the aforementioned challenges. A literature review by de Koster et al. offers an overview of order picking methods documented in academic literature up until 2007. We take this publication as a starting point and review developments in order picking systems that have been researched in the past ten years. The aim of our presentation is to give an overview of the current state of the art models and to identify trends and promising research directions in the field of order picking.
