…slot at a category level - shoes, hats, kitchen appliances, etc. Assign pickers to the categories they are most familiar with - and therefore, the most efficient pickers of. This method optimizes picking speed per category as well as per order. Seasonality should also be considered, along with promotions, as products should be slotted for timely access and fulfillment. However, if your demand does not exhibit a strong Pareto - or your order composition does not display a clear trend - you can skip such exercises. Random order is actually the best answer in those situations. Single Unit Orders Get…
