{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"order picking strategy","description":"Moving orders efficiently through a warehouse requires a deliberate method for retrieving goods – that is what an order picking strategy defines. The four most common approaches are discrete picking (one order per trip), batch picking (multiple orders per run), zone picking (each operative covers a dedicated area), and wave picking (time-released batches aligned with transport departures). The right choice depends on warehouse size, product range, average order profile, and staffing levels.
