Abstract |
: |
The problem at Panda warehouse came from delaying many orders being shipped to the stores which directly affect the availability of the stores. The delay is caused by the lack of manpower at times of high demand. On the other hand, other days when the warehouse gets a smaller number of orders from the stores, some of the workers are idle for long periods of time. As a result, Panda Retail Company lose the customer’s loyalty, especially in the current competitive market, due to failing their demands at the right time. This besides excessive manpower costs due to their idle times. Here, two models are suggested (one is analytical approach and the second is mathematical programming) for resolving this problem. The proposed mathematical programming model is based on the cyclic scheduling approach. The proposed mathematical programming approach is based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model (MILP). The results lead to the following savings to Panda warehouse management, the annual pickers’ costs reduced approximately by 15%, 16%, 20% and 27% using scenarios 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and the number of full-time pickers is reduced by 25% in the first and second scenarios and by 50% in the third and fourth scenarios. |
