Question 2: the given figure below is a layout of an existing warehouse. There are two types of aisles: one - way aisles of 8 unit distance wide, and two - way aisles of 16 unit distance wide. Each storage bay is 2020 unit distance area, and three types of products (C1,C2,C3) are to be stored in the warehouse. A and B indicate the receiving and shipping docks, respectively. The area requirement expected demand and variance for each product type are also provided.
\table[[Product Type,Area,Load Rate (Expected Demand),Variance],[C1,6400,400,45],[C2,8800,400,35],[C3,2400,600,64]]
a) If each storage bay consists of 27 storage slots, using randomized storage policy with normal distribution, does the above layout provide the desired warehouse capacity with z=1.96?
b) Assume the above warehouse layout is designed according to block racking model where the area of each bay is the same as the area of a single pallet (one unit load). The height of the pallet and the clearance between the load and rack are 20, and 5 units distance, respectively. Calculate the dimensions of the warehouse if its capacity is 132 pallets.
c) Use the provided weighted distance in the figure below for each bay to determine the layout that will minimize the expected travel distance. (hint: calculate the missing weighted distances first).
