Improving order picking efficiencies in a warehouse

Abstract

Warehouse and logistics operations of many businesses in India are yet to be automated using software systems. These manually operated warehouses pose significant challenges in performing critical operations such as put-away, inventory management and picking. Managing the inventory at these warehouses efficiently is critical to the profits generated by the company. In this direction, we analyzed the various operations performed and propose efficient techniques which can be used to improve the warehouse operations at manually operated warehouses.
