A continuous updating of new order entries and a class-based layout for storage was considered.</p> <p>The Earliest Due Date Method includes orders with a priority on due dates. The Savings Method includes orders with the maximum amount of savings attained in terms of picking tour time. The Smallest Increase Method includes orders with the smallest increase in route tour time. It is shown that by implementing the MS method or the SI method leads to an increased number of orders shipped per week.</p> 2005-10-17 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1125602488 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1125602488 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
