Abstract
The team investigated the implementation of batch-picking shipments at a regional
distribution center for Whirlpool Corporation, the world's largest appliance manufacturer. An
Excel-based optimization tool was created to strategically batch shipments to more
effectively utilize carrying capacity of clamping forklifts across the network. Due to the
decrease in labor hours, this resulted in savings of $1.1M annually.
