On Sequencing Retrievals in an Automated Storage/Retrieval System,

Abstract

The problem addressed in this paper is the possible improvement in warehouse AS/RS throughput by sequencing retrievals in dual command cycles. An expected cycle time model is developed for a nearest-neighbor sequencing heuristic along with a lower bound on average cycle time. Some critical elements in evaluating retrieval sequencing heuristics are also highlighted.
