order picking operations
A strange term, if you're unfamiliar with logistics operations, but this is the term used in the US and in other English-speaking countries.
Dave Piasecki
Of all warehouse processes, order picking tends to get the most attention. It’s just the nature of distribution and fulfillment that you generally have more outbound transactions than inbound transactions, and the labor associated with the outbound transactions is likely a big piece of the total warehouse labor budget. Another reason for the high level of importance placed on order picking operations is its direct connection to customer satisfaction. The ability to quickly and accurately process customer orders has become an essential part of doing business.

: Packing is the step that comes at the end or after the commissioning.

I agree with you, Sundari, but this client sees the removing from the shelf and putting in the box, etc. as one step.

Commissioning of goods
What this term expresses is basically that goods are picked out of the shelves in order to bring them together, for example according to a list of customer orders.

Basically you can call it \"Collection of goods\". That\'s what it means.
