| dc.description.abstract | With the globalization of market, the liberalization of trade, the rise of supply chain concept, the improvement of customer service and the rapid development of Internet technology, the logistics has become the prime focus for enterprises all over the world. However, the traditional logistics using a multi-level channel and transport pathways has been unable to meet the consumers demand. Therefore, the distribution center, which allows suppliers to transport their goods to retailers through it, and thus removes multi-level channel transshipment, making suppliers respond to market demand rapidly, plays an important role in the supply chain.
Due to the picking environments which need to split the order into several sub order and picking by different picking zones to complete the picking, this study propose to discuss the ＂synchronized sequential zone picking＂ environment in order picking. Besides, I observed two kinds of order consolidation methods in Distribution Centers at home and abroad, and both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, this study intends to use ＂the size of the order＂ and ＂order sequencing rules＂ as two factors to compare which of two order consolidation methods is much suitable for which order needs. This study discuss the issue in order consolidation derived from this environment, hoping to assist the distribution centers using synchronous sequential zone picking to choose a suitable choice.
