Abstract

We consider the same carousel storage system as that given by Jacobs et al. We propose a different but simpler approach for the solution, in which the solution is obtained by solving a linear equation. We also propose a simple heuristic that appears to give a feasible solution with more accuracy compared to that of Jacobs et al. Only linear computation time is needed.
