Abstract: A computer system includes a sorting device that receives a set of orders. The sorting device, for each fill of a first order of the set of orders, assigns the fill to one of a set of fulfillment devices. The computer system includes a sequence determination device configured to receive a first set of fills assigned to a first fulfillment device of the set of fulfillment devices. The sequence determination device adds the first set of fills to a first sequence corresponding to the first fulfillment device. The sequence determination device, for each fill of the first set of fills, determines a start time based on (i) a corresponding target date of the corresponding order and (ii) a priority of the corresponding order. The sequence determination device organizes the first sequence based on the start times. A forwarding device forwards the first sequence to the first fulfillment device.
