Order oriented slotting (OOS) - Related literature - Heuristics

8 important questions on Order oriented slotting (OOS) - Related literature - Heuristics

Why do we use heuristics with the OOS problem?

Because the oos problem is a combinatorial optimization problem, considered NP hard

What three different heuristics do we know?

  1. Oos AN (takes DAYS)
  2. IFH QAP (hours)
  3. IFH (Minutes)

Where does OOS AN stand for?

order Oriented slotting simulated annealing
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

What are the steps required in the OOS AN algorithm?

  1. Swap two SKU from their locations
  2. calculate difference in total travel distance
  3. accept improvements
  4. accept suitable deterioations

Where does F(0) (f not) stands for?

The cost difference between two situations

Where does IFH QAP stands for?

Interaction Frequency Heuristic based on Quadratic Assignment Problem

Why to use IFH QAP over OOS AN

To avoid simulated annealing and only working with F not (F(0))

What is the outline of the IFH heuristic?

  1. Allocate all singles via their COI allocation
  2. Sort the interaction frequencies in descending order
  3. Allocate item i and j as closely together as possible accounting for their COI and an empirically determined slack
  4. If for i and j no good location is found, process the next interaction frequency.
  5. Allocate items that are not allocated so far.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
