โœฆ Synopsis

Congestion in a transportation system prevents vehicles from traveling freely. Therefore, congestion in a material handling system can reduce the system's performance. This paper: (1) develops an analytical methodology for measuring congestion in a material handling system, (2) develops a congestion measure that is measurable in real-time and readily incorporated into existing analytical models for material handling system design and (3) develops quantitative relationships between critical material handling system variables and system congestion.

An integrated manufacturing system consisting of a set of work stations, a loading and an unloading station linked by a closed loop material handling system is considered. Each work station has a set of machines and a limited local storage, is capable of processing workpieces belonging to the same f
