  • Optimal product layout in an order picking warehouse

    Creator:
    Jarvis, Jay M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to provide, at a basic level, product layouts for an order picking warehouse that will minimize average order picking time. A statistical model is developed to ensure that optimal results rather than just 'good' results are obtained. It is shown that simple but general...

  • The effect of warehouse layout on order-picking efficiency

    Creator:
    Ben-Mahmud, Youssef S.
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the order-picking problem in a warehouse and establishes some criteria for the planning, design, and improvement of a warehouse layout to increase the order-picking efficiency. A simulation model has been developed to study the effect of warehouse layout on the order-picking throughput. Three major design elements of...

  • Evaluation of scheduling rules for single- and dual-dock automated storage

    Creator:
    Wang, Wen-tsao
    Abstract:
    Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/R) Systems have had a considerable impact on manufacturing and distribution processes. The configuration of AS/R systems vary considerably, depending on the particular application. The effect of different retrieval scheduling rules is analyzed and compared for three different unit-load AS/R systems operating under dual-command cycle. The...

  • 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...
