A carousel storage system (bi-directional) is to be designed to serve an electronics/computer assembly plant. The system must have a total of 600 storage bins and a throughput of at least 100 storage and retrieval transactions per hour. Two alternative configurations are being considered: (1) a one-carousel system and (2) a two-carousel system. In either case, the width of the carousel is to be 6.0ft and the spacing between carriers =4ft. One picker-operator will be required for the one-carousel system and two picker-operators will be required for the two-carousel system. In either system v=100 ft/min. For the convenience of the picker-operator, the height of the carousel will be limited to ten bins. The standard time for a pickup-and-deposit operation at the load/unload station =0.6min if one part is picked or stored per bin and 1min if more than one part is picked or stored. Assume that 40% of the transactions will involve more than one component. Determine One-Carousel System 1. \# of carriers on the carousel. 2. Circumference of the one-carousel system. 3. The required length of the one-carousel system. 4. Storage/Retrieval Cycle Time. 5. The corresponding throughput rate for the one-carousel system. Two-Carousel System 1. Circumference of each carousel in the two-carousel system 2. The required length of each carousel in the two-carousel system. 3. Storage/Retrieval Cycle Time. 4. The corresponding total throughput rate for the two-carousel system. 5. Which system (one carousel or two-carousel) better satisfies the design specifications? Why
