Determining a Loop Material Flow Pattern for Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems on a Facility Layout
arXiv:1211.2647
Abstract
In this paper, we present a heuristic procedure for designing a loop material flow pattern on a given facility layout with the aim of minimizing the total material handling distances. We present an approximation of the total material handling costs and greatly drop the required computational time by minimizing the approximation instead of the original objective function.
