Abstract

We present an overview of recent research in the design and control of material handling systems. Research in both shopfloor transportation systems and storage systems is covered. The issues studied range from the integrated design of manufacturing facilities and material handling systems to the performance analysis of operating policies in these systems. In general, the design and control problems in material handling systems are very hard, but analytical results can be obtained for specific configurations and relaxations of the problem.
