摘要
近幾年來，為了因應市場的全球化、自由貿易、整合供應鏈觀念的興起、多樣化的顧客並提高服務水準，以及網路科技與電子商務快速蓬勃的發展等因素，使得物流成為全球企業十分關注的焦點。而傳統物流是透過多層級的通路運送方式，已經無法滿足消費者少量且多樣化的需求，現今取而代之的則是物流中心（Distribution Center；D.C.）。供應商只需將其產品送至物流中心，物流中心再將產品配送至各個零售商，能夠快速地反應市場需求，使得物流中心在整條供應鏈上扮演了極其重要的角色。 本研究針對揀貨作業中「同步順序式分區揀貨」配合Flow Rack訂單匯合系統的環境加以探討，由於此揀貨環境需要先將訂單分割成數張子訂單，並由不同的揀貨線中依序經過各區域進行揀貨，最後才會將子訂單匯合，以完成揀貨。本人在國內外物流中心觀察到使用Flow Rack訂單匯合的方法，其匯合區有待改善之處。因此本研究使用「訂單順序安排法則」、「揀貨箱匯合選取法則」、「Flow Rack指派法則」三種不同的因子，並針對此環境衍伸出的訂單匯合區問題作探討，期望找出較佳的因子組合改善匯合區匯合作業並提升效率，並幫助使用同步順序式分區揀貨的物流中心做參考。

With the globalization of market, the liberalization of trade, the rise of supply chain concept, the improvement of customer service and the rapid development of Internet technology, the logistics has become the prime focus for enterprises all over the world. However, the traditional logistics using a multi-level channel and transport pathways has been unable to meet the consumers demand. Therefore, the distribution center, which allows suppliers to transport their goods to retailers through it, and thus removes multi-level channel transshipment, making suppliers respond to market demand rapidly, plays an important role in the supply chain. Due to the picking environments which need to split the order into several sub order and picking by different picking zones to complete the picking, this study propose to discuss the "synchronized sequential zone picking" environment in order picking. Besides, I observed an order consolidation methods using Flow Rack in Distribution Centers at home and abroad, Therefore, this study intends to use " order sequencing rules ", " sub order picking rule" and "flow rack assigning rules" as three factors to search for which combination of them is much suitable for which center needs. This study discuss the issue in order consolidation derived from this environment, hoping to assist the Distribution Centers using synchronous sequential zone picking to choose a suitable choice.
