โœฆ Synopsis

We consider batching and storage allocation strategies in a manual order picking system of small parts which processes high volume of orders. The arrivals of orders are assumed to follow a Poisson process, and the quantity of items in an order is assumed to be independently and identically distributed negative binomial variates. The order picking system is modeled by a two-stage queueing system with batching and picking activities. Bounds and approximate estimates for the mean and variance of the turnover time (total service time) of a batch of orders are derived. The quality of the results is evaluated via simulation. A compadson between uniform and skewed item storage assignment is also presented. The effects of batching and the batch size on the service time are discussed.

In this paper the problem of robust eigenvalue assignment in second-order systems by combined derivative and proportional state feedback is examined. It is shown that almost arbitrary assignment can be achieved by solving a linear matrix equation or symmetric linear system. Based on the fact that th
