Guide path design is the most important factor in planning automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) in manufacturing shop environments. This paper studies a heuristic procedure to design an optimal bi-directional guide path with the objective of the minimum total travel time of the vehicles. An example is solved to validate the procedure developed.
