Industrial and Production Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Warehouse Slotting Travel Model

This Industrial and Production Engineering final year project investigates reducing fictional picking distance while respecting storage constraints, connecting a bounded production decision to explicit data, constraints and reproducible comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic gives reducing fictional picking distance while respecting storage constraints a practical industrial-engineering scope without assuming access to an entire factory. Comparing travel distance, congestion proxy and relocation effort supports process diagrams, simulations or evidence reviews and helps explain why an apparent improvement may depend on its assumptions.

How do the selected production-system policies or assumptions affect travel distance, congestion proxy and relocation effort when reducing fictional picking distance while respecting storage constraints?

Choose a fictional production case, permitted dataset or harmless approved teaching task, then agree the workload and comparison criteria for reducing fictional picking distance while respecting storage constraints.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the production process, evidence and constraints required for reducing fictional picking distance while respecting storage constraints.
  2. 02Create synthetic order baskets, compare random and turnover-based slotting and test changes in item demand.
  3. 03Compare travel distance, congestion proxy and relocation effort and report uncertainty, trade-offs and limits of application.

A suggested research approach

Create synthetic order baskets, compare random and turnover-based slotting and test changes in item demand. Identify synthetic inputs and obtain permission for any real observations or participant tasks. Keep a documented baseline, inspect sensitivity to uncertain assumptions, and compare travel distance, congestion proxy and relocation effort without treating a modelled improvement as a verified factory outcome.

What you will need

  • Synthetic order records
  • Fictional warehouse layout
  • Routing analysis tools

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not establish safe aisle operation or actual worker productivity.
