Abstract :
A teaching methodology for learning "by doing" is proposed, where each participant plays a role to simulate different organizational configurations of picking in a finished product warehouse. The pooling of results complemented with the presentation of good practice enables the effectiveness of the learning process in a four hours workshop. This methodology is appropriate for university teaching.
