Abstract
Order picking is an essential operation and is the major cost constituent of distribution center. This paper attempts to develop a storage assignment policy of heuristic, which must simultaneously consider travel distance and workload of each aisle. The objective is to minimize mean travel time of an order. The paper compares the mean travel time for different storage assignment policies, namely frequency-based and heuristic policies. The simulation results show that the heuristic policy is better than the frequency-based storage assignment policy.
