What is meant by picking times?

Picking time refers to the total time required to process an order. It includes:

  • Setup time: organizational effort before/after picking
  • Travel time: movement between storage locations
  • Pick time: grabbing and handling items
  • Idle time: unavoidable but non-value-adding activities like searching or verifying

 

Goal: Minimize picking time to reduce operational costs.
