Abstract

The design of an automatic overhead storage and conveyor system is discussed in this paper. The problem centers on the introduction of a modern material handling system into an existing manufacturing facility. Simulation was originally premised on a production schedule of 25,000 computer systems per day. The value of simulation was demonstrated when recessionary trends reduced initial production projections by 40%.
