-
(qualifier:logistics, uncountable) An order picking method that combines zone picking and wave picking.
After investigating five order picking strategies, namely discrete, batch, sequential zone, simultaneous zoning and simultaneous zone-wave picking, concluded that simultaneous zone-wave picking and batch picking are superior and that their results are not so much affected by changes in demand skewness patterns or daily order volume.
