Verification of Picking Optimization Based on Flexsim: Taking a Company as an Example

Abstract

It has always been a classic and important topic to study how to improve the efficiency of picking in warehouses. In addition to the walking path and picking method of the picking personnel, it is also essential to improve the efficiency of picking. In this paper, the EIQ analysis method is used to divide the ABC grades of the sales items of a small wholesale company and the available storage spaces, and the goods and the cargo spaces are respectively corresponding one by one according to the level of the grade. Using flexsim to model the old and new schemes, and setting the same condition to run the model, the experimental results show that the picking efficiency after the optimization of the cargo space can be effectively improved.
