The multi package can replace the pre-packaging activity that exists at TPP today. It will have a great impact on the picking activity where the time-aspect in picking order-lines can be decreased considerably. The conclusion is that our developed method in defining optimal quantities for a multi package can be used on all concerning articles at TPP and also at other companies sharing the same problems.
