Order Picking Techniques
Order picking techniques are methods used in warehouses to efficiently gather items for customer orders. Techniques include single order picking, where one order is fulfilled at a time; batch picking, where multiple orders are collected simultaneously for similar items; zone picking, dividing the warehouse into sections assigned to specific workers; and wave picking, which groups orders for efficient processing during scheduled times. The choice of technique depends on factors like order volume, item location, and warehouse layout, aiming to reduce travel time and increase accuracy in fulfilling orders efficiently.
