Ph.D. Title: Batching and picker routing problems in warehouses taking into account human factors

Short description:

This Ph.D. thesis deals with the modeling and solving of batching and routing problems in warehouses taking into account human factors. Usually, the objective of these problems is to minimize the total traveled distance, and the constraints consist in satisfying customer orders. However, pickers have to face a variety of difficulties during their working days such as painful picking operations and congestion in aisles. The objectives of this thesis aims to propose mathematical models that describe batching and routing problems integrating human factors, and develop efficient solving.
