This research aims to investigate the state-of-the-art and the trends in the adoption of picking solutions (Order Picking System, OPS), as shown by a cross-section of 40 Italian warehouses. For this purpose, an analysis of the scientific literature on this topic has been performed in the first place, in order to understand the state-of-the-art and the critical issues displayed by the industry as a whole. Subsequently, the adopted OPS solutions were surveyed and compared by the means of empirical analysis on a sample of 40 distributive or factory warehouses. A careful examination has first allowed a single-case analysis of each company, based on its specific aggregate market sector, and then a cross-case analysis of companies, including a comparison with the scientific literature.
Il presente lavoro di ricerca si pone l‟obiettivo di indagare lo stato dell‟arte e le linee di tendenza riguardo al tema dell‟adozione di soluzioni di picking (Order Picking System, OPS), in base a quanto emerso dall‟analisi di un campione di 40 magazzini italiani. A tale fine, si è dapprima svolta un‟analisi della letteratura scientifica internazionale sul tema, al fine di comprendere lo stato dell‟arte e le criticità espresse dal settore nel suo complesso. Successivamente, attraverso un‟analisi empirica basata su un campione di 40 magazzini (distributivi o di fabbrica), sono state analizzate e confrontate le soluzioni OPS in uso. Un‟attenta disamina ha consentito dapprima una single-case analysis su ogni azienda, aggregata in base al settore merceologico di appartenenza, e successivamente una cross-case analysis tra le aziende, includendo anche un confronto con la letteratura scientifica.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate the state-of-the-art and the trends in the adoption of picking solutions (Order Picking System, OPS), as shown by a cross-section of 40 Italian warehouses. For this purpose, an analysis of the scientific literature on this topic has been performed in the first place, in order to understand the state-of-the-art and the critical issues displayed by the industry as a whole. Subsequently, the adopted OPS solutions were surveyed and compared by the means of empirical analysis on a sample of 40 distributive or factory warehouses. A careful examination has first allowed a single-case analysis of each company, based on its specific aggregate market sector, and then a cross-case analysis of companies, including a comparison with the scientific literature.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
