Abstract
A computer simulation model is presented for an automated material storage-and-retrieval system that utilizes bin loading. The model is written in General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) language, and it functionally simulates incoming job-arrival rates, operator task times, and the travel times of the storage/retrieval vehicle. The model is utilized to evaluate the impact of employing different types of storage policies, the duration of wait times encountered in a priority batch queue, and the expected throughput capacity of the system under either maximum-input or peak-period conditions.
