Abstract
Order picking has been considered as one of the most critical operations in warehouse. In this study, we propose an analytical approximation model based on probability and queueing network theory to analyze order batching and picking area zoning on the mean order throughput time in a synchronized zone picker-to-part order picking system. The resulting model can be easily applied in the design and selection process of order picking systems.
