Systems and methods for fulfilment design and optimization

Abstract:

A system for fulfillment & optimization. The system includes an optimization engine that executes scenario simulations, wherein the scenario simulations generate pick information. The optimization engine selects a best scenario from at least two scenarios based on the scenario information. In response to the selection of the best scenario, the optimization engine configures a computing system to execute a zoning policy, a routing policy, and a base algorithm policy associated with the best scenario. The computing system executes the zoning policy, the routing policy, and the base algorithm policy to fulfill orders.
