Abstract:
In recent ten years picking activity has achieved a significant role in the context of the supply chain, both from the production system point of view and from the point of view of the distribution system. In fact this activity is characterized by high intensity of manual work, which deeply impacts both upon overall logistic costs and upon the level of the service provided to the customer. Zoning is the problem of dividing the whole picking area into a number of smaller areas and assigning order pickers to pick requested items within the zone. The zoning is classified into synchronized zoning, where all zone pickers work on the same orders (single or batch) at the same time, and progressive zoning, where each orders (single or batch) is processed at zone at a time. Progressive zoning, also called pick and pass or sequential order picking systems. In this paper, progressive picking zoning solution will be briefly described
