Abstract: Locating technologies represent one of the main resources and time saving opportunities of the order picking system. The aim of this study is to examine the two types of order picking strategy used in the warehouse of the enterprise from the perspective of time saving. In order to shorten the picking travel time, a change was initiated in the order of products on the order picking list. The order picking list based on the numerical increase of the original ascending code article international identifier was switched to an order picking list based on the alphabetical order of storage locations. Consequently, preparation based on the desired new order picking list is more effective with higher storage location involvement. Employees performing the order picking system can obtain an ideal route with the order picking list based on the ascending alphabetical order of storage location names.
