  • Increased throughput by aisle zoning in end-of-aisle order picking AS/R systems

    Creator:
    Khan, Mohammad Younas
    Abstract:
    A simulation study of end-of-aisle order picking AS/R systems is made with special emphasis on improving the system throughput by introducing a zone near the home (Input/Output) location on each side of the aisle, for storing partially picked pallets. The study considered class-based-turnover assignment policies, one with a zone and...

  • Simulation-based design evaluation of automated storage/retrieval systems

    Creator:
    Shroff, Raj N.
    Abstract:
    Automated storage and Retrieval (AS/R) systems have had a significant impact on storage and retrieval of finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials and supplies. A microcomputer-based simulation model was developed to evaluate different unit load AS/R systems serving multiple input sources and output destinations. The simulation results were statistically analyzed...
