Abstract

Competition of the industrial area, the increase of the variety of products, more frequent deliveries, the smallest times of service, to the smallest tolerance to mistakes of orders separation and pressure for reduction of stock levels are some of the points that demonstrate the research importance on stocking and picking of ended products in an industry of the electric area that produces electric safety equipment, justifying the need of research and development of cost reduction techniques. The performance improvement in relation to the picking of requests in the stocking of finished products, is made possible, in this study, through the picking definition (collection and separation of products in stock) more appropriate to the warehouse of finished products of a company, by it analysis of more adopted strategies. Later, the definition of performanceof the best method of distribution of orders adopted will be demonstrated through a simulation using the software ARENA to evaluate the delivery of certain orders. The performance is measured by the number of orders and of items you delivered, using the number of available operators in the work shift and with alternative strategies picking.
