Literature Survey: Order Picking Policy and Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)

Abstract

Main purpose of an enterprise is to obtain gain in its business the area in which it products materials or it presents service to customers. In order to carry on their presence and to supply rival business advantage, enterprises have to use resources efficiently in case of high quality and low costs. Storage facilities costs encloses an important percantage of total enterprise costs. Order picking is one of the most labour intensive and cost effective operation of storage operations. Order picking process contains operations like scheduling of customer orders, grouping of orders, picking orders from storage locations, carrying orders to I/O points. In this paper a literature review on order picking policies and AS/RS systems is given. In this paper gains of the previous studies in literature and  the approaches that are used in previous studies in literature is presented by  analysing previous studies on order picking policies and AS/RS systems.

Keywords

• Storage costs, as/rs, order picking policies

Literatür Araştırması: Sipariş Toplama Politikaları ve Otomatik Depolama ve Boşaltma Sistemleri (AS/RS)

Abstract

Bir işletmenin en temel amacı, meydana getirdiği bir ürün veya hizmeti tüketicisine ulaştırıp çalıştığı, hizmet verdiği alanda gelir sağlamaktır. İşletmelerin varlıklarını devam ettirebilmeleri ve rekabet üstünlüğü sağlayabilmeleri için, ellerindeki kaynakları yüksek verimlilikle, yüksek kalitede ve düşük maliyetle sağlamaları gerekmektedir. Bir işletmede depolama faaliyetleri toplam işletme maliyetleri içinde önemli bir paya sahiptir. Sipariş toplama ise, depolama faaliyetleri arasında en maliyetli ve en çok işgücü gerektiren işlemlerden bir tanesidir. Sipariş toplama, müşteri siparişlerinin çizelgelenmesi ve kümelenmesi, siparişlerin zemine bırakılması, stok alanlarından parçaların toplanması ve siparişlerin elden çıkarılması proseslerini içermektedir. Yapılan çalışmada, sipariş toplama politikaları ve otomatik depolama ve boşaltma sistemleri üzerine literatür araştırması yapılmıştır. Sipariş toplama politikaları ve otomatik depolama sistemleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar incelenerek, çalışmalarda kullanılan yaklaşımlar ve literatüre katkıları üzerinde durulmuştur.

Keywords
