Abstract

A system for rush order fulfillment optimization is discussed. The system includes mobile devices that are each associated with a worker and a rush fulfillment engine executed by a computing system which dynamically updates a task queue of each worker upon receipt of a new rush order according to a task completion rate difference between an estimated task completion rate and the current task completion rate of the worker.
