" Note-Deriving the Optimal Boundaries for Class-Based Automatic Storage/Retrieval Systems," " Application of the Cube-Per-Order Index Rule for Stock Location in a Distribution Warehouse," " Optimal Storage Assignment in Automatic Warehousing Systems," Finally, a practical example is studied to demonstrate the use and validate our findings. The results are compared with those under random storage, and show that a significant reduction of the machine travel time can be obtained. The algorithm is complex, but the results are appealing since most of them are in closed-form and easy to apply to optimally layout the 3D AS/RS rack. A decomposition algorithm and a one dimensional search scheme are developed to solve the model. We propose a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model to determine the zone boundaries. We determine the optimal storage zone boundaries for such systems with two product classes: high and low turnover, by minimizing the expected Storage/Retrieval (S/R) machine travel time. We study a particular compact system with rotating conveyors for the depth movement and a Storage/Retrieval (S/R) machine for the horizontal and vertical movement of unit loads. Decision-making research on these systems is still in its infancy. Compact, multi-deep (3D), Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) are becoming more common, due to new technologies, lower investment costs, time efficiency and compact size.
