Abstract :The purpose of this research is to determine whether a DRL solution would be a suitable solution for the OBSP problem and to compare it with traditional methods. For this purpose, models trained utilizing the PPO algorithm were tested in a complex and realistic warehouse environment, and an attempt was made to measure whether a strategy was developed to decrease the number of orders being late. A heuristic method was also applied and the results were compared on the same environment and data. The results showed that DRL approach that combines heuristics with the PPO algorithm outperforms the heuristics in minimizing the tardy order percentage in all tested scenarios.Keywords : Pekiştirmeli Öğrenme, Sipariş Gruplama ve Sıralama Problemi, Yakın Politika Optimizasyonu, Depo Optimizasyonu
