Abstract

We consider the retrieval of articles from a warehouse to fulfill customer orders of a large e-commerce business. The problem consists of an order batching phase, where orders are grouped together to be processed by one picking process, and a routing phase where the article locations of one batch are sequenced in a route of minimal length. Our application is characterized by several non-standard features concerning the warehouse structure as well as the storage strategy. We develope a heuristic solution algorithm based on a fairly general graph model.

非标准仓库中的订单批处理和路由

我们考虑从仓库中检索物品以满足大型电子商务业务的客户订单。该问题包括一个订单批处理阶段，其中订单被分组在一起，由一个拣选过程处理，以及一个路由阶段，其中一个批次的物品位置在最小长度的路径中排序。我们的应用程序在仓库结构和存储策略方面具有几个非标准的特征。我们开发了一种基于相当一般的图模型的启发式求解算法。

期刊介绍： Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
