  • 在有效地倉儲管理中,批量揀貨是個值得被探討的問題。在批量揀貨中,訂單盡可能地被合併使檢貨人員可以依被合併的訂單在同一個時間來做批量揀貨。這個批量揀貨的問題已經被認為是一個NP-hard,而且在可以等待的時間內很難在大量訂單中找到最佳解;在此文章中我們主要是針對大量的訂單做批量揀貨。
    在本研究中,採用三個常用的路徑分析法,traversal、return和largest gap,將這三個路徑加到所要研究的問題中。本研究所建立的數學模式就是依largest gap而發展出來的,而另外兩個路徑—traversal 和 return的數學模式則是沿用Hwang and Kim’s (2005)。透過這些數學模式,採用近年來常被採用的的基因演算法來找出最短的行走距離。為了得知基因演算法在批量揀貨中是否為一個有效率的方法,本研究將基因演算法與群組分析做比較。從小批量到大批量的訂單例子中,可以得知利用基因演算法可以使大批量的訂單有效地被結合並且找到最小的行走距離。


    Order batching is a key factor in managing a warehouse efficiently. In order batching, orders are combined as much as possible so that the order picker can pick a set of combined orders at the same time. This study deals with the order batching problem in large-sized. The order batching problem is recognized to be NP-hard, and it is extremely difficult to obtain optimal solutions for large-sized order batching problem within a tolerable computation time.
    Generally, there are three significant routing policies decisions that determine the efficiency of order batching, traversal policy, return policy and largest gap. This study develops an order batching mathematical model based on genetic algorithms (GAs) with largest gap. Beside, we quote two mathematical models with traversal policy and return policy from Hwang and Kim (2005) to develop the genetic algorithms. The proposed genetic algorithms (GAs) that directly minimizes the total travel distance. To show the validity of the genetic algorithms, comparing with a cluster analysis (CA) in terms of the total distance of batches grouped. The potential of applying GAs for solving small-sized to large-sized order batching problems is also investigated by using several examples. The results show that orders are combined effectively and find the minimum distance.
