Abstract
Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems (AS/RS's) are used in manufacturing systems and distribution centers around the world. The maximal benefits of an AS/RS depend on the physical system design and the system control policies. This paper presents a simulation model of different control procedures of an AS/RS when product demand varies for seasonal trends. The effects of different demand rates and product mix on the system control policy are also addressed.Keywords
