Question
The problem at hand is to develop a mathematical model to help optimize order-picking in a warehouse. Imagine that you have an automated warehouse. In this ware house there are 5 different locations. At one end of the warehouse you have an order printer which prints out orders one by one. In the middle of the warehouse you have three different items. At the other end of the warehouse you have the packaging center where ordered items are dropped off and the warehouse's job is complete.I need help starting to create a mathematical model which optimize the route the order-picker would take through the warehouse. I am allowed to make any assumptions I want regarding the distribution of items ordered. Eventually I will need to turn this model into a model that would work for any number of items, but I want to start out with a basic case first. Thanks!
