Abstract

In this paper, in order to reduce the logistics costs and commodity storage costs in the actual operation of e-commerce enterprises, we introduce an automated three-dimensional warehouse in the e-commerce logistics storage process, and use Flexsim software to model the ASRS system, discrete event simulation, system optimization. Afterwards, the bottleneck analysis and optimization of the logistics sorting process and processing outflow process are carried out to achieve the effect of making e-commerce logistics warehousing operations operate efficiently. Through this article, e-commerce enterprises can learn from the logistics warehouse operation process and process optimization steps.
