The paper presents a study of the efficient order-picking r oute problem. The work focuses on the short-term planning strategy for the warehouse in order to reduce labour costs on employees. One of the main project features is that there is a lot of strict constraints on problem solving, i.e., trolley capacity, order due time an d high-dimensional warehouse structure. The result of the work is the algorithm which combines heuri stic and exact approaches. The algorithm is, hence, fast enough to be applied in any rea listic size warehouse. The memory requirement is small enough to allow its implementation on a personal computer.
