| Abstract: | Many companies configure their warehouse with a forward area and a reserve area. The former is used for efficient order-picking, the latter for replenishing the forward area. The authors consider a situation in which orders are picked during a certain time period, referred to as the picking period. Prior to the picking period there is sufficient time to replenish the forward area. The authors' objective is to determine which replenishments minimize the expected amount of labour during the picking period. |
