And the longer it takes to carry out a task, the more resources and money it inevitably costs your business.<\/p>\n<p>Warehouse order picking is no exception. In fact, the process accounts for nearly 60% of all operational costs, making it one of the most crucial functions to evaluate when rooting out inefficiencies and optimizing fulfillment workflows.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there are many picking strategies to choose from, and not all will be the right fit for your unique operation. Here are Logiwa\u2019s key resources to help guide you through the various order picking methods, as well as identify the best approach for your business.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Table of Contents --><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-toc\" >\n<p>Contents<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#1\" rel=\"noopener\">Overview of Warehouse Order Picking Methods<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#2\" rel=\"noopener\">Basic Order Picking Methods<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#3\" rel=\"noopener\">High-Efficiency Picking Methods<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#4\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Choose Your Optimal Warehouse Picking Strategy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\">Overview of Warehouse Order Picking Methods<\/h2>\n<p>Warehouse order picking is the act of retrieving inventory within your distribution center.

Two of the simplest forms of warehouse order picking are order-based picking and cluster picking, both of which do not require specific warehouse planning in order to execute.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Order-Based Picking:<\/strong> This method has pickers go through each order and collect items on-by-one, whether it be for single-item order or multi-item orders. It takes the most time out of all the picking methods, but it often ensures less errors or product damage due to its simplicity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cluster Picking:<\/strong> This approach groups orders together based on specific criteria so that pickers can assemble items for multiple orders all at once. This requires workers to either immediately or eventually sort items into their respective orders, but it does result in more orders getting filled in fewer trips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about these two methods in Logiwa\u2019s blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/put-wall-picking\">U-Cell Approach to Put Wall Picking in High-Volume Warehouses<\/a>&#8220;, or download, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/resources\/guides\/put-wall-picking\">A U-Cell Approach to Put-to-Wall Picking<\/a>\u201d to take cluster picking to the next level.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">High-Efficiency Picking Methods<\/h2>\n<p>In order to meet the demands of modern ecommerce, many warehouses have turned to more strategic warehouse order picking methods. These high-efficiency approaches require up-front analyses and deliberate facility planning to yield competitive results and cost-savings.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/warehouse-wave-picking\">Wave Picking<\/a>: Wave picking (another form of cluster picking) creates intervals, or \u201cwaves,\u201d that align with specific criteria like shipment departure times, transportation methods, end-locations, and clients. It creates a boost in efficiency by prioritizing timelines and responsibly allocating resources.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/zone-picking-pick-and-pass\">Zone Picking<\/a>: This strategy divides warehouses into specific zones and has workers pick orders only within their designated areas like an assembly line. This allows the picking process to be more efficient because it limits the amount of walking being done to retrieve orders while maximizing the number of orders getting processed at a time.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/resources\/webinar\/quicktake-webinars\/how-smart-picking-drives-warehouse-efficiency\">Smart Picking<\/a>: Considered the leading technique for competitive order picking, this AI-based method factors in multiple order attributes in order to group and segment picking tasks for warehousing teams. It builds out pick jobs in a way that is highly optimized using smart algorithms and configurable software rules. Using smart warehouse order picking methods can save 58% of time spent on picking and 69% of the time spent on packing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/logiwa-dtc-picking-strategies\">Outlook Series Podcast: Logiwa DTC Picking Strategies<\/a>\u201d for deeper insights into each of these warehouse order picking strategies, the types of operations they best serve, and the various warehousing tools that help enhance them.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/blog-power-of-ai-job-optimization-1-2-1.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;blog &#8211; power of ai job optimization&#8221; title_text=&#8221;blog &#8211; power of ai job optimization&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/the-power-of-ai-job-optimization&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; ul_item_indent=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;||h3 {||    font-size: 18px !important;||    margin-top: 1px!important;||    margin-bottom: 1px!important;||}||||.et_pb_text_0 h2 {||    line-height: 25px!important;||}||||h2 {||    margin-top: 3px!important;||    margin-bottom: 5px!important;||}||&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\">How to Choose Your Optimal Warehouse Picking Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t really a one-size-fits-all picking strategy for operations.
