positions article in the picking area in different situations in a way
that
picking costs are minimized.
ORion-PI®Pick
Process Optimizationminimizes by optimal article
positions costs
and times. Depending on the target it can consider costs for
e. g. picking,
supply, storage and stock transfers, as well as optimally balanced load
of
warehouse zones and so-called look-alike articles. Pick process
optimization
thus is especially of interest to those distribution centers which, due
to
campaigns or season specifics, have a frequently changing assortment.
The
module calculates the optimal location
for each article and storage zone. The computation is
based on:
Order frequency data
Article properties like size or weight
Campaign dependant demand fluctuation
Recurring order patterns
Standardized MTM-times (Methods Time Measurement)
Consideration of expenses for storage and stock
transfers
ORion-PI®Pick Process Optimization continuously updates the
optimization results. As a consequence, picking locations for
fast-moving items and the assignment of express stations can be
organized at short notice and campaign-dependant in order to maximize
the number of fully commissioned orders.
ORion-PI®Pick Process Optimization considers standardized
MTM-times – objective times for elementary work movements such as
picking, bending or turning. Optimal storage locations thus can be
calculated even more precisely. Frequently ordered articles are placed
best possible.

ORion-PI®Picktrend allows the realistic forecast of sales
figures – based on order data of previous periods. The forecast results
are convincing:
