Effects of relocation to AS/RS storage location policy with production quantity variation
Introduction Experiment design Simulation Result Conclusion
Introduction The performance of will not be good if production quantity variation and current storage policy is kept Find the tolerance limits and appropriate strategies for storage policy when production plan change Random,2 and 3 class-based will be examined
Experiment design (1/3) There are 20 items in the production plan Production quantities vary between % Items are assumed as end products For 2 class-based storage Top four items: first class
Experiment design (2/3) For 3 class-based storage Top four items: first class Next six items: second class For random storage 1500, 5000 and unit storage time Relocation process will be done whenever the crane idles

Conclusion (1/2)
Conclusion (2/2) Class-based storage policies perform better but have a lower tolerance Class-based would be better if performance is the most critical issue If performance is not critical and frequent production plan changes are expected, random storage would be better
