Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Industrial and Systems Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
This thesis provides a methodology to allow for rotated interior aisles to reduce the total transportation cost within a facility that is using the flexible bay structure. The methodology contains a construction phase where the optimal Input/Output points and aisle structure are found followed by an improvement phase that optimizes the aisle rotations within a facility. The methodology was applied successfully to three problems from the literature with a maximum improvement of about 21%. All results from the testing are interpreted along with a conclusion including possible extensions of the study.
