  10. 2.1 Probabilistic Picking in Warehouse • We assumed that an item found in the i th aisle has the probability, • This is proportional to the average of the turn over rate of all items found in a aisle • or the number or racks for an item. • Notations used : • M : number of freight of an item, • : number of item stored in the ware house • : probability of picking item • m : number of item stored in the ware house • = number of item 1 • n : number of picking of order or • : number of picking of each items per an order picking, Kainan University

  11. Prob ( picking n items in the warehouse where stored k items) = (1) where, means the probability of picking item in a picking. All the cases of picking of item k when a transporter repeats n times of picking with the probability , is given by, ( 2) Kainan University

  12. The expected number of picking by a transporter : (3) • By the assuming that the probability that a pick comes from a randomly • selected zone is 1/p • where p is number of transporters or number of zones. • Thus the expected number of picks in pf a transporter or zone during a • particular time period can be approximated using the binomial distribution • The upper limit of picking UL(the number of items retrieved by a • transporter) can be determined by using the normal distribution to • approximate the binomial distribution. as following • The binomial distribution B(n, p) can be approximate as • N(np, np(1-p)) Kainan University

  13. Thus, = Kainan University

  14. 2.2 Optimal Size of Unit Rack Notations : AW : width of unit aisle(ft) AL : length of unit aisle(ft) LW : width of unit rack(ft) LL : length of unit aisle(ft) LH : width of unit aisle(ft) WM : number of aisle R : required through put( unit/hr or day) C : total length of rack(ft) TA : available space of system, VHV: horizontal speed of transporter(ft/hr) VVV : vertical speed of transporter(ft/hr) T : scale parameter of unit rack T: LL/VHV= LH/VVV

  15. We formulate this problem as following : Min. WM St 2·LW·LH·WM = C (1) (AW + AL) ·((LW + LL) · WM + 1) = TA where, TU is given by following Eq. (2) (2) By Eq. 1 and 2, (3) and by Eq, 2 and 3, where, Kainan University

  16. The algorithm to find WM is given by following 5 steps : step 1 : step 2 : if , go to step -4 Otherwise, go to step-3 step-3 : , go to step-2 step-4 : stop , WM = minimum number of aisle, Kainan University

  17. We could find optimal size of aisle and the system performance as following : - number of aisle : WM - height of rack : - length of rack : - expected travel time(min) : - system utilization rate(%): utilization rate Kainan University

  18. Numerical example to find WM and system utilization rate : S = , R = 294 picks n = 5 picks/trip, p = 0.25 Min/pick hv = 150 m/min, vv = 30 m/min k = 1.25 min/trip Number of aisle = 3 Height of rack = 4.1m Length of rack = 20.6m Expected Travel Time = 2.83 System Performance = 92.52% Kainan University

  19. 2.3 Travel Time Analysis Assumptions : - one picker in each zone, - each type of item in stored in one location, - sufficient supply of items in at each location, - items are picked along one side of an aisle at a time, - there are two sides to each aisle , - transporters travels through all the aisles, - items are randomly assigned to storage location within a facility, The total processing time : 1) The picking time is given by following equation : where, TN : number of transporter, : time for a transporter to pickup an item : number of all the items picked up by transporter, Kainan University

  20. 2) Traveling time : 3) Stop time for picking : Total process time per travel of transporter) = (picking time) + (traveling time) + (Stop time for each SHU Kainan University

  21. 4) Determining of the optimal number of transporters - dependent on total process time, number of aisle, its length and number of required amount to be retrieved. - It is very complicated problem Thus, we used a simulation method based on AutoMod simulator. Kainan University

  22. Simulation Model for Order Picking • Warehouse System Analysis • We modeled the same order picking warehouse system using • AutoMod simulator. • We have run the simulation for 1000hours with following design • parameters : • Number of aisle = 3, • height of rack = 4.1m, • length of rack = 20.6m, • C = 539 m2 , R = 294 picks, n = 5 picks/trip, • p = 0.25 Min/pick, vhv = 150 m/min, vvv = 30 m/min, • k = 1.25 min/trip Kainan University

  28. Sample problem of order picking systems - The picking utilization obtained from mathematical model is a little greater than that from simulation (92.52 > 61.3) - the optimal number of transporter : 3 - total throughput : 311.8. - There should be a minimum two line spaces between tables and - text.
