Placement of Products and Improvement of Order Picking Process through Association Analysis: A Case Study in Pharmaceutical Warehouse
Abstract
While taking strategic decisions for the future
in today's business world, which has a constantly changing and dynamic
structure, several implications can be drawn with the information obtained from
databases and the correct processing and analysis of this information. With
regard to these implications, various decisions can be taken to improve the
processes. Businesses can execute their processes more efficiently and they are
able to make better decisions on the future by processing the data that will benefit
by using the data mining techniques. In this study, the past orders of a
pharmaceutical company were analyzed and an association analysis of the
products in these orders was performed and a methodological framework has been
presented based on the Apriori Algorithm results to ensure that the products
are placed at the optimum level in the warehouse. Therefore, this study
contributes to the improvement of order picking process.
