Abstract

We analyse the performance of a material handling system consisting of two carousels and one picker. We derive expressions for the system throughput and picker utilization. We work out the throughput and picker utilization for two different pick-time distributions: deterministic, which might be a reasonable model when a robot is picking, and exponential, which might be a reasonable model when a person is picking.
