Assignment:
An automated storage/retrieval system installed in a warehouse has five aisles. The storage racks in each aisle are 30 ft high and 150 ft long. The S/R machine for each aisle travels at a horizontal speed of 350 ft/min and a vertical speed of 60 ft/min. The pick-and-deposit time = ass min. Assume that the number of single command cycles per hour is equal to the number of dual command cycles per hour and that the system operates at 75% utilization. Determine the throughput rate (loads moved per how) of the AS/RS.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
