In this paper, we determine the required storage capacity of a unit-load automated storage/retrieval system(AS/RS) under random storage assignment(RAN) and n-class turnover-based storage assignment(CN) policies. For each of the storage policies, an analytic model to determine the optimal storage capacity of the AS/RS is formulated so that the total cost related to storage space and space shortage is minimized while satisfying a desired service level. A closed form of optimal solutions for the RAN policy is derived from the model. For the CN policy, an optimal storage capacity is shown to be determined by applying the existing iterative search algorithm developed for the full turnover-based storage(FULL) policy. Finally, an application of the approach to the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is provided.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RSs) are an important facility for modern material management. The expected benefits of these capital-intensive facilities are gained when their control policies and their physical design parameters are determined simultaneously. In this paper we present several analytical models that capture the impact of the storage assignment policy and of the rack design on the expected storage and retrieval times. Sequential and interleaved service modes are considered for sequencing the storage and retrieval requests. We further investigate the impact of the rack structure on the relative performance of the following storage assignment policies : closest open location (random), full turnover-based policy, and class-based. Our analysis clearly indicates that significant savings in crane travel time are realized when implementing full turnover-based policy, rather than random. These savings become more and more pronounced as the profile of the storage racks approaches the square-in-time shape. Furthermore, it is shown that a class-based policy, with a small number of storage classes, will capture most of these savings and be easier to manage in practice.

The performance of a double carousel system depends on its design and operation strategy. The two-class based assignment policy is expected to be an appropriate storage policy for its efficient operation, since it has two independently-moved carousels, lower and upper sub-carousels. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the effects of the two-class based assignment policy and those of randomized assignment policy on the throughput of a double carousel system. We also show that, by allowing the sub-carousels not to be equal in size, a further improvement in the throughput can be obtained.

In this paper, an approach is presented for determining the required storage capacity of a warehouse with leased public space. Storage assignment policies considered are randomized and class-based storage assignment policies. An analytic model for each of the storage policies is formulated with the objective of minimizing the cost of owned storage space and leased space while satisfying a desired service level of protection against space shortages. Cost functions used in the models are piecewise liear with fixed costs. For the models, algorithms are developed to generate optimal solutions. The approach is applied to the systems where the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is used for all items being stored in the warehouse.

With two-class-based storage assignment policy and dual command cycle in Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems(AS/RS), the problem of determining the region dedicated for class-one item is considered. First, the expected travel time of the S/R machine is derived when the boundary of the class-one region is square. Secondly, a heuristic procedure is proposed which determines sequentially the class-one region in a discrete rack. An application of the procedure generates leaf shape region which confirms that the L-shape partition is not necessarily optimal.

The performance of Storage assignment policies is traditionally evaluated with the storage capacity of and AS/RS taken as given. However, the storage capacity is closely related to the inventory model used in real situations. This paper presents a model of evaluating the performance of three storage policies(random storage, class-based storage, and full turnover-based storage) considering production lot-sizing simultaneously with storage assignment of inventory items. The objective of the model is to achieve a balance of warehouse throughput and space requirements such that a total of material handling cost, production ordering cost, and inventory holding cost is minimized. The effects of the parameters involved in the model are investigated on the performance of each storage policy through example problems.

This paper considers a trade-off effect between in-house storage space and leased storage space in generic warehouses operated under a randomized storage assignment policy. The amount of in-house storage space is determined based on the law of large numbers satisfying a given service level of protection against space shortages. Excess space requirement is assumed to be met via leased storage space. A new analytic model is formulated for determining the excess space such that the total cost of storage space is minimized. Finally, computational results are provided for the systems where the standard economic-order-quantity inventory model is used for all items.

We consider a Direct Input Output Manufacturing System(DIOMS) which has a munber of machine centers placed along a built-in Automated Storage/Retrieval System(AS/RS). The Storage/Retrieval (S/R) machine handles parts placed on pallets for the machine centers located at either one or both sides of the As/Rs. This report studies the operational aspect of DIOMS and determines the optimal operating policy by combining computer simulation and genetic algorithm. The operational problem includes: input sequencing control, dispatching rule of the S/R machine, machine center-based part type selection rule, and storage assignment policy. For each operating policy, several different policies are considered based on the known research results. In this report, using the computer simulation and genetic algorithm we suggest a method which gives the optimal configuration of operating policies within reasonable computation time.

본 논문에서는 자동창고시스템과 자재취급시스템이 통합된 통합자동생산시스템의 하나인 DIO가공시스템을 고려한다. DIO가공시스템에서는 스태커크레인이 가공물의 저장을 위한 운반은 물론 각 기계 사이의 가공물 운반역할을 담당하게 된다. 이러한 시스템에서 일어날 수 있는 문제로 크게 시스템 설계와 관련된 문제와 시스템운영과 관련된 문제로 구분하고 본 논문에서는 시스템의 운영정책에 관련된 문제만을 다룬다. 시스템의 운영과 관련된 문제로는 가공물투입순서, 가공물의 저장위치, 스태커크레인의 작업배정, 가공물선택 등으로 크게 4가지로 나누어서 고려한다. 각각의 운영정책에 대해서 기존의 연구결과로부터 DIO가공시스템의 특성을 반영하는 몇 가지씩의 운영정책을 대안으로 제시하고 최적의 운영정책 결정을 위한 방법론으로 컴퓨터시뮬레이션과 유전자알고리즘을 통합한 방법론을 제시한다. 또한 실험을 통해서 기존의 연구결과와 비교 검토함으로서 제시된 알고리즘의 우수성을 검증한다.
