Abstract
In this paper, the optimization methods for storage allocation in synchronized zones are discussed. We used customer orders to dig correlation between goods, and proposed an index to measure the similarity between goods, then used a heuristics way to solve the p-median clustering problem. The goods appeared in the same orders frequently are most likely to be allocated in different zones, in order to balance the labor intensity of different zones, thus the total order picking time is reduced and the resource utilization of each zone is improved.
