Wave picking releases groups of picking tasks in scheduled waves, potentially grouped by carrier, destination or dispatch requirements. Its defining feature is coordinated scheduling and release, not simply collecting several orders together.[1]
Work backwards from carrier collection and allow time for sorting and packing. A large late wave may create efficient picking routes but overwhelm packing. Size the release to match downstream processing capacity.
