Abstract 

The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the order picking process for different sized items on different floors. The thesis purpose was also to study how the warehouse layout is affected by different sized items. The study also aimed to identify different ways to streamline order picking by optimizing the layout. To answer the research questions, qualitative studies were conducted where interviews and observations were used to investigate different activities on different floors of the case company. The result revealed the large items on different floors have a great impact on the layout as large items require special handling and can otherwise lead to inefficient picking times. By implementing restructuring of different items on the upper floor and implementing inventory systems such as ABC-analysis, the order picking process can be streamlined. This leads to reduced picking time as the picker doesn’t have to travel unnecessarily long distances. The result of this study can be useful for companies that work with large items and want to improve their order picking process. For further research, it is suggested to evaluate the proposed measures in practice.

Sammanfattning

Examensarbetets syfte var att undersöka orderplockningsprocessen för olika stora artiklar på olika våningar samt hur lagerlayouten påverkas av artiklarnas storlek. Arbetet syftade också till att identifiera olika sätt att effektivisera orderplockningen genom att optimera layouten. För att besvara forskningsfrågorna genomfördes kvalitativa studier där intervjuer och observationer använts för att undersöka olika lageraktiviteter på olika våningar hos fallföretaget. Resultatet visade att stora artiklar på olika våningar har en stor påverkan på layouten eftersom de kräver en särskild hantering, vilket kan leda till ineffektiva plocktider. Genom att implementera omstrukturering av olika artiklar på övervåningen och implementera lagersystem som ABC-analys så kan orderplockningsprocessen effektiviseras. Detta leder till minskad plocktid genom att plockaren inte behöver färdas onödigt långa sträckor. Resultaten för denna studie kan vara nytta för företag som jobbar med stora artiklar och vill förbättra sin orderplockningsprocess. För ytterligare forskning så föreslås det att utvärdera de förslagna åtgärderna i praktiken.
