Shared Storage Policies Based on the Duration Stay of Unit Loads
研究基于单位货物停留时间的共享存储策略，证明其能显著减少单指令存取仓库的行走时间，并针对不同系统提出最优及启发式策略，通过仿真比较多种存储方式的行走时间。
This paper addresses duration-of-stay-based shared storage policies for a unit load warehouse. We show that, for single command storage and retrieval, shared storage policies based on duration of stay of individual unit loads have the potential to significantly decrease travel time. An optimal storage policy with respect to travel time and storage space is developed for systems with balanced input and output. Based on the same principles, two heuristic policies are developed for more complex systems. Simulation results are provided which compare travel times for dedicated storage, random storage, turnover-based storage classes, and duration-of-stay-based storage classes.
