A Methodology for Evaluation of Order Picking Systems as a Base for System Design and Managerial Decisions

Abstract

Presents a methodology useful when analysing the efficiency of order picking systems. The main feature of the analysis is the ability to compare different system designs. The methodology has earlier been applied mainly to assembly production systems, and has in these cases proved to be an effective management tool in discussions concerning the choice of production system.
