Simulation Modeling for End-of-Aisle Automated Storage and Retrieval System.

This paper presents a simulation study of an End-of-Aisle automated storage and retrieval system. Various elements of AS/RS control policies are combined to compare and analyze the performance of an End-of-Aisle automated storage and retrieval system. The extensive simulation study shows the isolated effects of various policies, as well as compares several combinations of policies and rules. This comparison provides a base for selecting the most suitable policy in the evaluated system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
