Abstract

An automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) is a type of warehouse automation technology specifically designed to buffer, store, and retrieve product and inventory on demand. AS/RS technology varies substantially, and can consist of shuttles, cranes, carousels, vertical lift modules (VLMs), micro-loads, mini-loads, unit-loads, or other systems. Design of a warehouse location involving AS/RS technologies is a multicriteria decision making problem with several criteria under vague and imprecise environment. In this chapter, two different warehouse location design alternatives involving AS/RS technologies are evaluated by using an interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach.
