Abstract

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is an optimization method based on swarm intelligence which has demonstrated to be capable of obtaining satisfactory results on a diversity of optimization problems. However, the implementation of this optimization method hasn't been much explored on order picking problems, even though order picking represents up to 55% of the total operational cost of a typical warehouse. The order picking problem has even more importance on nonprofit organizations like food banks since they operate with a limited budget. In this chapter, the authors implemented an ABC algorithm to solve the order picking problem within a food bank. The goal was to determine which parameter values contribute the most during the optimization process. Experiments were conducted using nine sets of parameters for the ABC; results show that the approach is suitable for the study case.
