Abstract


In this paper application of OCRA index risk assessment method for order-picking processes using carousels is presented. Analysis included both vertical and horizontals carousels, as well as picking from single devices and from systems of a few devices in pods, based on two different cases regarding picking productivity. The results show that there are no significant risks in cases with lighter items and less intensive picking, but there may be a significant risk for heavier items and more intensive work.
