    A constructive aisle design model for unit-load warehouses with multiple pickup and deposit points
    (Elsevier, 2014) Kevin R. Gue; Russell D. Meller; Meller, R. D.; Ozturkoglu, O.; Gue, K. R.
    We develop a network-based warehouse model of individual pallet locations and their interactions with appropriate cross aisles in order to evaluate the expected travel distance of a given design. The model is constructive in that it uses Particle Swarm Optimization to determine the best angles of cross aisles and picking aisles for multiple pre-determined pickup and deposit (P&D) points in a unit-load warehouse. Our results suggest that alternative designs offer reduced expected travel distance but at the expense of increased storage space. The opportunity for benefit also seems to decline as P&D points increase in number and dispersion. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
