contents The order picker routing problem involves finding the optimal tour of a warehouse that collects all the required items on a given pick list. Ratliff and Rosenthal introduced a dynamic programming algorithm for solving this problem in polynomial time by sequentially adding edges inside and between each aisle to construct a tour. We provide a method where only transitions from one aisle to the next are considered, significantly reducing the number of stages in the algorithm.
