Abstract
We have developed a set of procedures that convert a block layout into a material handling layout by simultaneously determining the aisles and the locations of the load/unload stations for carrier based material handling systems. The procedures can be applied for several vehicle dispatching policies and for unidirectional and bi-directional aisles. We will report on computational results for standard mixed integer and linear programming solutions as well briefly discuss our heuristic solution procedures and software implementation. Determining the set of aisles and the locations of the stations on the aisles for an aislebased unit load material handling system is an important problem faced in facilities design. Existing research has addressed either the problem of 1) determining the aisle selection set when the station location is given, 2) the problem of determining the station location set when the aisle set is provided, 3) while accounting for the transportation costs only and ignor...
