Wave picking is a term for a process used in a warehouse management system (WMS) to support organizing of the daily flow of work of a warehouse or distribution center.  Wave picking is an application of short-interval-scheduling.  Managers, using the WMS, assign groups of orders into short intervals called "waves", to initially simulate the flow for the day, consistent with the order departure plan and available labor.  When the plan is satisfactory, it is accepted.  The WMS then releases the waves to the warehouse sequentially throughout the day, to allow managers to coordinate the several parallel and sequential activities required to complete the daily work.  One of the objectives of wave picking is to minimize the variation of workload in each work function by wave.  The wave data includes the workload (order lines, cases, value added services, etc.) by order or function (case picking, repack picking, pallet movement, pick position replenishment, packing, etc.), providing management the information to calculate staff requirements (Reasonable Expectancies or Productivity Standards) to guide the assignment of staff by function, with the reasonable expectation that the work in each function, within each wave.  Waves are often constructed (based on each day's order characteristics and available staffing) to last between 1 and 4 hours, with resulting 8 to 2 waves in a shift.  There are three basic management tasks accomplished and benefits of wave picking.

The organization can choose to implement the anti-bribery management system in conjunction with or as part of other systems, such as those relating to quality, environment and safety.
