Order picking is a time-intensive process in a warehouse that plays a key role in accomplishing an effective supply chain. Fishbone layout is one of two new diagonal cross aisle designs for warehouses that has shown to be more efficient for unit-load operations. In this study, we investigate the performance of different aisle layouts and storage allocation policies under various demand patterns for a warehouse with a pick and deposit point. We also consider other factors that affect the order picking efficiency such as different order picking sizes and distinct routing policies as well. We evaluate total order picking distance for different warehouse designs with simulation. Our simulation experiment results show that fishbone layout performs better compared to a traditional design under highly skewed demand as opposed to uniform demand with one P&D point. As the order picking size grows larger, the traditional layout performs better than the fishbone layout.
