Beskrivning

Commissioning is a central element of internal material flow systems. Within a company, it forms the interface to the customer (distribution) or provides the parts or components as required for subsequent production processes (production supply). There are numerous options for the design of order picking systems, which must be taken into account during planning. Outstanding aspects for the design of a system are the reaction time and the costs. The cost aspect in particular is of great importance nowadays, as order picking is still characterised by a large proportion of manual processes.The book takes into account existing theories and guidelines on this topic, but expands on them with new insights into the structuring, labelling and calculations of order picking systems, thus providing a comprehensive insight. The book is aimed at students and teachers who have a basic knowledge of logistics issues. It supports the reader with numerous illustrations and structured overviews that simplify familiarisation with the subject matter. Various examples round off the scope of the book and enable the reader to reflect on the knowledge learnt using these practical case descriptions.

Mer om författaren

Christopher Reining completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Logistics at TU Dortmund University. He then worked as a research associate at the Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing, where he earned his Dr.-Ing. with a dissertation on human activity recognition in logistics, particularly in order picking. At 4flow SE, he led international consulting projects in intralogistics and production. He is currently Chief Scientist at the Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing at TU Dortmund University and a member of the executive staff at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics.Friedrich Niemann completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s studies in Logistics at TU Dortmund University. He subsequently worked as a research associate at the Chair of Production Organization and Logistics at the University of Rostock as well as at the Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing at TU Dortmund University. As part of his teaching activities, he is responsible for the course “Order Picking Systems.” His research focuses on order picking. He is currently pursuing his doctorate on “Context- and Activity-Based Process Recognition in Intralogistics.”
