2022-bESTology Week 3

Topics

• Fulfillment Zones
• Fulfillment types

Objective/Goal: 

Students will understand the different types of order picking and fulfillment zones and how these processes affect the warehouse and fulfillment center designs.

Introduction:

Order picking is the success mechanism for warehouses and fulfillment centers across the globe. These facilities provide the needed access for shipping and inventory management companies need to meet customer demands for products.
