Abstract

Automated warehousing systems need to balance operational efficiency, energy consumption and overall system cost in sustainable supply chains. This paper presents an analytical model-based Decision Support System (DSS) for sustainable system design of Shuttle-Based Storage and Retrieval System (SBS/RS). Multiple system design indicators, namely mean service time, mean energy consumption, and overall system cost, are considered in a mathematical model. A simulation model is developed to validate the accuracy of the mathematical model. Extensive numerical experiments explore the impacts of rack design and equipment operating parameters on various system performance indicators and summarize balanced equipment operating settings. Overall, this study provides an analytical-model based DSS on sustainable SBS/RS configurations for decision-making managers and system designers.
