Abstract:

The use of containers as basic handling units in warehousing systems is continuously expanding. A systematic procedure is proposed for finding the best container size for such systems. An approximating approach is developed which is valid under specific conditions. When these conditions do not hold, a simulation model is applied, yielding a minimum-cost container size that satisfies prescribed requirements.
