  Abstract:
  In an integrated order picking-vehicle routing problem (I-OP-VRP), an order picking problem and a VRP are solved simultaneously by taking into account the requirements and constraints of both problems. Implementing an integrated approach to obtain simultaneously order picking schedules and vehicle routes can lead to better results. A record-to-record travel algorithm with local search operators is developed to solve the I-OP-VRP in a small amount of computational time.
