Abstract :Nowadays, the fragmented orders, the shrinking time windows, the special customer requirements, and the inventory reduction requirements are the biggest challenges in warehouse logistics and production supply. Research studies have already examined different type of order picking routing optimization and considered optimal storage location assignment (SLA). The several SLA solutions take into consideration several factors, however, these usually require the repositioning of the stored products. Based on our industrial experiments there is a lack of industrial application and support of the systems to keep up the ideal SLA. The aim of this paper is to define a potential concept to keep up a nearly optimal SLA during order picking position replenishment with minimized number of time consuming and labor-intensive product repositioning tasks.
