To improve the outcome of order picking systems, automated and robotized components are increasingly introduced creating hybrid order picking systems where humans and machines jointly work together. This study focuses on the application of a hybrid picker-to-parts order picking system, in which human operators collaborate with Automated Mobile Robots (AMRs). In this paper a warehouse with a two-blocks layout is investigated. The main contributions are new mathematical models for the optimization of picking operations and synchronizations. Two alternative implementations for an AMR system are considered. In the first one handover locations, where pickers load AMRs are shared between pairs of opposite sub-aisles, while in the second they are not. It is shown that solving the mathematical models proposed by the meaning of black-box solvers provides a viable algorithmic optimization approach that can be used in practice to derive efficient operational plannings. The experimental study presented, based on a real warehouse and real orders, finally allows to evaluate and strategically compare the two alternative implementations considered for the AMR system."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/a15110413"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/118463"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1999-4893"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","AMR-Assisted Order Picking: Models for Picker-to-Parts Systems in a Two-Blocks Warehouse"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Comprehensive changes are implemented in this field due to new technologies like AI and automation. Nevertheless, human worker’s activities will be required for quite some time in the future. This fosters the necessity of evaluating manual picker-to-part operations. We apply the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the efficiency of n = 23 order pickers processing 6109 batches with 865,410 stock keeping units (SKUs). We use distance per location, picks per location, as well as volume per SKU as inputs and picks per hour as output. As the convexity axiom of standard DEA models cannot be fully satisfied when using ratio measures with different denominators, we apply the Free Disposal Hull (FDH) approach that does not assume convexity. Validating the efficiency scores with the company’s efficiency assessment, operationalized by premium payments shows a 93% goodness=of-fit for the proposed model. The formulated non-parametric approach and its empirical application are promising ways forward in implementing empirical efficiency measurements for order picking operations within e-commerce operations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/jtaer16040048"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/85308"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-425"],["dc.relation.eissn","0718-1876"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Order Picking and E-Commerce: Introducing Non-Parametric Efficiency Measurement for Sustainable Retail Logistics"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
