This chapter presents a general analysis framework and the major issues for designing and operating order pick systems for less-than-case retrieval. The interplay among stock keeping unit data analysis, order data analysis, overall system structure, equipment types for subsystems, and operating strategies, is emphasized. Selected results are presented for parametric analysis, batching and zoning using ride-and-pick, proximity batching of small orders with no order splitting, and correlated storage assignment. Future research opportunities are outlined.
