1. A method of order-picking articles from a first number of providing sections into a corresponding number of order-depositing sections by means of a second number of order-pickers, a respective order-picking zone being formed by a providing section, in which a certain range of articles is provided, and an order-depositing section, on which articles which are put together for an order from the range of articles are deposited, this resulting in the formation of a first number of order-picking zones which, together, form an order-picking region, and an order-picking computer for the order-picking zones generating zone orders in each case and communicating these to the order-pickers, wherein in each case only one order-picker order-picks in an order-picking zone, with the result that the first number of order-picking zones is equal to the second number of order-pickers, and wherein the order-picking computer sets the boundaries between adjacent order-picking zones in a variable manner by means of a zone-allocation strategy in order to adapt at least one of the size of the order-picking zones in the order-picking region and the number of order-picking zones in the order-picking region to variable order-picking influencing factors.
