  • They can carry one box at a time
  • They walk at 2.5 miles per hour, whether carrying a box or not
  • There is always product available for them to put away at the end of the aisle
  • The location where product must be put away is randomly uniformly distributed across the length of the aisle
  • There will always be an available location for putaway
  • The width of aisle can be considered negligible
  • The person takes 5 seconds to pick up a box at the end of the aisle, and then 10 seconds to put away a box when they arrive at a location
