Sistem Otomasi Rute Order Picking Pada Gudang dengan Metode Simulated Annealing

Abstract

Order Picking is a process to make a selection from products and picking them up from the place that products are stored and then sort the products out to fulfill the customer orders. Order picking process is the most expensive activity in the warehouse. The reason is order picking needs a lot of workforce and if order picking done manually it will cost as much as 55 % of the total cost of the warehouse. That’s why order picking is the correct part to be optimize to make warehouse become more effective and efficient. In this thesis, a web based application designed to solve all the problems above, which includes showing the shortest route to be pick for orders picking with simulated annealing method. Other than that, the application will be included with a hardware named RFID reader which can detect product placement and pickup from the shelf. The result of this thesis showed that simulated annealing algorithm able to reduce the range that are needed to order picking as much as 51.57058354 % for 100 data, 35.56569879 % for 500 data and 28.18222784% for 1000 data with fixed parameters. For the RFID reader it have the accuracy of 40% for reading products on the shelf. This is because the signals from tags clashing with each other which make the reader unable to read all of them.
