Zone picking divides the warehouse into areas, each responsible for retrieving its own products for an order. The partial picks must then be combined or handed onward under control.[1]
It can support specialisation and shorter travel distances. Manage the handoff carefully: an order spanning several zones is complete only when all its parts have arrived. A heavily loaded zone can determine the completion time of the entire order.
