What is meant by dock and yard management?

The order picking principle determines how items are retrieved from inventory and plays a key role in the picking system, alongside the chosen technology. Depending on the organizational structure of the picking warehouse, different picking principles apply to provisioning, retrieval, order consolidation, and zoning.
In terms of provisioning, the following approaches are used:

• Static picking (person-to-goods)
• Dynamic picking (goods-to-person)

These can involve manual, semi-automated, or fully automated systems.
