= 2o @ Describe three order-picking systems. Provide an example of when each one would be appropriate. 1. Wave order picking In wave order picking there are a group of orders are assigned in a short interval of time which is called a wave. It is more efficient and faster order picking because in this all the departments have to pick up their items at the same time. There is no need to wait for one department for other. They can pick up all the multiple orders. A warehouse has to pick up 4 orders then they can pick all four orders in one go instead of going 4 times for the pickups which are called a wave. 2. Zone order picking Zone order picking involves the division of SKU into various zones where different workers may pick up their order from different zones. This order picking method is time-saving, cost-saving and effective. For an automobile industry they need to pick up the tyres from the different zone and glasses from others and at the end, they will transfer all into the same zone 3. Batch order picking.Batch picking is a process where all the identical orders are picked up at the same time instead of going all the same location again and again. For example - If the company needs to pickup same item which is needed by different customers then "ey will maintain the list of how many items are seded and pick all of them at one time.
