Hybrid order picking: A simulation model of a joint manual and autonomous order picking system

open access: yesComputers & Industrial Engineering, 2022
Order picking is a key process in supply chains and a determinant of business success in many industries. Order picking is still performed manually by human operators in most companies; however, there are also increasingly more technologies available to automate order picking processes or to support human order pickers.
