A Simulation Methodology for Analyzing Storage and Retrieval Systems.

摘要

A model was built to simulate the 'small item' Warehouse Information Control System (WICS) located at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center. The model emphasizes the movement of computer-controlled Satellite Work Stations in the warehouse by using a Cartesian coordinate overlay to identify intersection and storage aisle reference points. Intersection turn codes and the vehicles' current positions and destinations determine the direction of vehicle movement. The model was validated using four criteria - face validity, internal validity, event validity, and variable parameter validity.
