  10. Order-picking and Storage Equipment • Picker-to-part systems - order picker must travel to the pick location within the aisle. • Bin shelving • Modular storage drawers • Flow racks • Mobile storage systems • Order-picking vehicles

  11. Order-picking and Storage Equipment • Part-to-picker systems - the pick location travels through an automated machine to the picker. • Carousels • Horizontal • Vertical • Mini-load automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)

  13. Figure 8A-5 Mezzanines

  14. Types of Materials Handling Equipment – A Design Perspective • Flexible path • Fork lifts, power lifts/skids • Very flexible, but usually labor intensive • Continuous-flow fixed path • Conveyors, track-guided vehicles • Expensive but capable; limited flexibility; need high volumes to be efficient • Intermittent-flow fixed path • Rail-mounted cranes

  15. Equipment Selection Factors • Physical attributes of the product and its packaging • Characteristics of the facility • Time requirements • Sources of information • Vendor sales force • Company engineers • Consultants • Similar site visitation and inspection

  16. Appendix 8A: Summary and Review Questions Students should review their knowledge of the appendix by checking out the Summary and Study Questions for Chapter 8 and Appendix 8A.
