Abstract. The case-study company faces the limited space situation. Thus, the company decides to uninstall their temporary warehouses and re-locate products in two permanent warehouses. The objective of this research is to design the layouts of the two permanent warehouses so that the spaces can be efficiently used and the total picking distance is low. The past data, Invoices and Stock Data, are used for developing layouts designing processes. This research involves the collecting of Product Size Data to calculate the required space for the products. There are two phases in layout designing process. The first phase is the product categories grouping. This phase categorizes product categories into two groups for the two warehouses. The second phase is the layouts designing. In this phase, the layouts of the two warehouses and the locations of the products are designed. According to the company requirements and policies, the Adapted Class-Based Turnover Assignment is adopted in order to design the layouts for the two warehouses. Layouts of the warehouses are designed, analyzed, and evaluated. The best layouts give the best trade-off between quantitative results, i.e., the total picking distance and the remaining space, and qualitative results, i.e., the usability and the product suitability. The designed layouts are applied in the case-study company. This research develops a systematic and practical layout designing method which is flexible and can be adopted in other warehouses.

“…The cross aisles used to make connections between the pick aisles are optimized. Adaptations of the heuristics of Hall (1993) for multiple-block layouts are presented in Roodbergen and De Koster (2001), along with a new routing heuristic.…”

Order picking is the warehousing process by which products are retrieved from their storage locations in response to customers' orders. Its efficiency can be influenced through the layout of the area and the operating policies. We present a model that minimizes travel distances in the picking area by identifying an appropriate layout structure consisting of one or more blocks of parallel aisles.The model has been developed for one commonly used routing policy, but it is shown to be fairly accurate for some other routing policies as well.

“…The warehouse order pickers walk or drive along the aisles to pick products from storage the branch and bound algorithm that performs the routing heuristics for picking process [4]. The order batching by seed and savings algorithms that tends to make an efficient batching for numerous instanced but the batching need to be first come first serve and also the availability of the product [5].…”

The objective of this project is to know about the Order Picking System (OPS) in the warehouse management system (WMS). I.Introduction Order picking is a warehouse function dealing with the retrieval of articles from their storage locations in order to satisfy a given demand specified by customer requests. Of all warehouse operations, order picking is considered to include the most cost intensive ones [1]. Up to 50% of the total warehouse operating costs can attributed to order picking [2]. Between the time an order is released to the warehouse and the time it takes to reach its destination, there is ample opportunity for errors in both accuracy and completeness, not to mention time lost. There is also room for improvement. Industry has come up with innovative solutions, making it possible to attain productivity up to 1,000 picks per person hour [3]. Among such manual order picking system, picker to parts systems can be considered as the most important ones. The order picking process to be more efficient then the picking operations and order batching are important. Today there are several order batching methods that tend to make efficient batching for the picking operations but the perfect method to form the batching requires a lot of considerations. The new developed technique still requires some progress to form a possible approach for the batching of customer orders. The ultimate aim of the batching is to reduce the time involved in the picking operation which can reduce the warehouse operating cost and also the order fulfillment will be at a great level.
