| Abstract: | A travel time model with general item location assignement in a rectangular warehouse system is presented. The authors give the exact probability mass functions that characterize the tour of an order picker and derive the first and second moments associated with the tour. The authors apply the model to analyzing order batching and storage allocation strategies in an order picking system. The order picking system is modelled as a queueing system with customer batching. |
