Order picking is the process of picking items from storage based on customer demand and it has been observed that order picking cost is the main operating cost in warehouses. Lean principles are applied to create a lean order picking system to eliminate non-value-added activities in order to reduce the order picking cost. The goal of this thesis is to achieve minimum total cost for the lean order picking system. This thesis develops one probability model and three regression models to predict the picking time in the fast pick area. A simulation is used for comparison purposes to verify those models. The comparison results indicate the first regression model and the second regression model can accurately estimate the total cost. These models provide warehouse designers with a standard reference of the number of zones, equipment, and workers to achieve minimum total cost for the lean order picking system.
