Abstract

This paper describes the use of a discrete event simulation model to aid in designing an enlarged order picking and shipping system. The model was used to compare the capacity effects of various conveyor configurations, to test assumptions of system design, and to arrive at an estimate of overall system capacity expansion of the revised system.
