Abstract

This study investigates the rotational dwell point location problem for a storage carousel system with a turnover based storage assignment policy. The research presents a solution for the dwell point location of a storage carousel system when the system becomes idle, in order to minimize the expected value of the next transaction time. Analogous to some existing dwell point location research for automated storage/retrieval systems, this research utilizes a tree network to model the carousel’s individual storage locations. This allows for a closed form solution to the associated dwell point location problem. Some extensions for future research are also proposed.
