The Design of Zone-Batch Order Picking System for E-Commerce Business Using Dynamic Simulation
Original language description
Online shopping is growing in strength both in the Czech Republic and throughout Europe, not only due to the coronavirus crisis. A number of new customers have discovered online shopping and some sectors have even seen an increase in tens to hundreds of percent during the Covid-19 pandemic. These consumer behaviour trends are making businesses across various fields transform their business processes and look for new adjustment options at all levels of management. The aim of the submitted study is to present a proposal for optimisation of the order picking system in an internet book vendor warehouse by means of dynamic simulation. It is the activities under the Logistics Department that are most heavily affected by changes in purchasing behaviour. The environment of dynamic simulation offers a very useful tool for finding a suitable solution quickly and effectively in these situations. More specifically, the obtained outputs demonstrate greater effectiveness of the zone-batch picking strategy (as opposed to individual picking of individual orders) for Internet vendors’ warehouses with a wide range of products, from which customers only order a few items and in small quantities. By ensuring higher performance, the flexibility of dynamic simulation enables businesses to quickly respond to hanges not only coming from the outside.
