Parameters for a Genetic Algorithm: An Application for the Order Batching Problem

Abstract

Warehouse management involves a huge quantity of product movements performed in a work shift, so its success depends on the procedure used to retrieve customer orders to deliver them on time at the lowest possible cost (Bustillo et al., 2015). Due to this fact, optimizing warehousing processes has become an important objective since a small efficiency improvement of these operations can produce significant savings in product movements and costs (AlbaredaSambola et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2005).
