text: "Order picking has long been identified as the most labor costly and intensively
activity in warehouse management. The orders from the customers need to be fulfilled
tightly and timely. In order to keep the required high service level, the warehouse
has to increase the picking productivity under the constraints of limited capacity.
This paper concerns a man-togoods order picking system, in which the order pickers
have to drive with a pallet jack to the storage locations. Considering that the
orders are mostly small orders which consist of less lines, it is efficient to
combine severalsingle customer orders into one picking order. Under this circumstance,
this paper intends to answer the question of how customer orders should be grouped
into picking orders with the aim of minimizing the total travel length through
the warehouse. Consequently the productivity of the order picking system can be
improved. An optimization problem for order batching is introduced. The optimization
method of order batching is then proposed. Based on the simulation of different
scenarios of incoming orders, it can be concluded that the developed method is
effective in improving the productivity of the concerned order picking system.\r\n"
