In plain English
This means collecting needed items in a single trip for more than one order at the same time. The key idea is that those orders are handled in one run instead of one by one.
In context
Here, "batch pick" names the picking method where items for several orders are collected together in one run rather than separately for each order.
- Situation
- Managing warehouse receiving, inventory, picking, packing, and dispatch
- What it communicates
- names a picking method that groups similar orders together.
Meaning limits
By itself, the term does not say which orders are grouped together or how the run is organized.
Examples
“Rather than pick each order separately, Maya batch-picked the shirts and mugs for four orders in one run.”
“Please batch pick the envelopes and batteries for these five orders before the cart comes back.”
