Nowadays, many order planning techniques employ supervised machine learning algorithms. However, to define features for supervised machine learning algorithms is not a simple task. Against this background, we consider whether unsupervised algorithms can enhance the planning of order-picking lists. A double zone picking approach, which is based on using clustering algorithms twice, is developed. A simplified example is given to demonstrate the merit of our approach.}, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {15}, number = {9}, year = {2021}, pages = {395 - 399}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012251}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/177}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 177, 2021}, }
