Abstract
An interactive decision support system (DSS) for automated guided vehicle (AGV) system design is described. The DSS allows the user to flexibly access an analytical model relating changes in the levels of design variables to performance measures and operating dynamics for control zone AGV systems. The underlying analytical model applies recently developed advances in modelling the impact of vehicle dispatching within an extended analytical model for AGV system design. Using the DSS, the system designer can interactively screen preliminary design solutions prior to the development of the simulation models used to develop and validate detail design specifications. This makes it possible to explore a broader range of the design solution space in a process of intelligent enumeration. A sample problem is examined using the DSS.
