Abstract: Abstract Storage location assignment is a dynamic problem due to product life cycles and time-varying demand patterns. We demonstrate the impact of demand fluctuations on order picking times for frequency-based and genetic-algorithm-based storage assignment policies. Our results provide the base for developing re-warehousing strategies to maintain order picking efficiency over time.
