Replenishment methods

To operate efficiently, replenishment must take place before pickers are dispatched to ensure that an item is available when the pickers reach their assigned locations.

The application determines replenishment quantities by combining two methods:

• Fixed quantity

  Calculates the quantity required in the pick zone by comparing the current stock quantities with the maximum quantity that the pick location can hold.

• Order-based

  Uses the quantities on order and released to calculate the quantities needed in each pick location. This method is more efficient because it only dispatches replenishment tasks for those pick locations that require them.
