Abstract

When a company utilises the shared storage, then the selection of locations in the process of order-picking is not an easy task. In the literature of the subject, there are several take-out strategies, but none of them considers it as the multiple-criteria decision-making problem. The goal of the chapter was to compare the results of designations of the picker’s route obtained by means of the two take-out strategies (priority of partial units and quantity adjustment) with the results obtained by using the Taxonomic Measure of Location’s Attractiveness (polish abbreviation—TMAL) method with three decision criteria: distance from the I/O point, degree of demand satisfaction and the number of other picked products in the neighbourhood of analysed location. After selection of locations, the picker’s route will be designated by means of the s-shape heuristics. The analysis will be performed by means of the simulation experiment, where one hundred of ten-element orders will be generated for each method and the picker’s route length and time will be compared.
