Optimizing the Cargo Location Assignment of Retail E-Commerce Based on an Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm

الملخص EN

An efficient storage strategy for retail e-commerce warehousing is important for minimizing the order retrieval time to improve the warehouse-output efficiency.

In this paper, we consider a model and algorithm to solve the cargo location problem in a retail e-commerce warehouse.

The problem is abstracted into storing cargo on three-dimensional shelves, and the mathematical model is built considering three objectives: efficiency, stability, and classification.

An artificial swarm algorithm is designed to solve the proposed models.

Computational experiments performed on a warehouse show that the proposed approach is effective at solving the cargo location assignment problem and is significant for the operation and organization of a retail e-commerce warehouse.
