Approximation for Batching via Priorities [PDF]
Scientific Annals of Computer Science, 2007 We consider here the one-machine serial batching problem under weighted average completion. This problem is known to be $cal Ncal P$-hard and no good approximation algorithms are known. Batching has wide application in manufacturing, decision management,

Order Batching and Routing in a Non-Standard Warehouse
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2018 Abstract We consider the retrieval of articles from a warehouse to fulfill customer orders of a large e-commerce business. The problem consists of an order batching phase, where orders are grouped together to be processed by one picking process, and a routing phase where the article locations of one batch are sequenced in a route of minimal length ...

Route overlap metrics to batch orders
ORION, 2023 In this study different metrics to perform order batching for a unidirectional cyclical picking system are investigated. Batches must be formed to minimise walking distance that is measured as the total number of cycles traversed by pickers.Route overlap metrics are developed to approximate walking distance before picker routing.
