A hybrid artificial neural network, genetic algorithm and column generation heuristic for minimizing makespan in manual order picking operations

作者：

Highlights：

• A soft computing-based column generation heuristic for order picking is proposed.

• The proposed algorithm is compared against PSA-ACO and an exact method.

• Based on numerical experiments some managerial insights are proposed.
