Abstract:

Determining the number and type of AGVs and the assignment of AGVs to transport parts between workstations is an important problem encountered in the design of an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). In this paper, an optimization model is proposed to solve this problem. The model minimizes the overall system cost defined as the sum of the annualized cost of operating the AGVs and the cost of transporting parts between workstations. The model is illustrated using a numerical example.
