Abstract Over the past few years, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) have been increasingly improving. It is worth mentioning that multi-shuttle storage/retrieval (S/R) machines were gradually introduced to the market some years ago. These machines, which possess a high speed of execution, are able to transport several pallets at a time during the same trip, as opposed to single-shuttle S/R machines which can carry only one pallet at a time. It should be noted that the installation of this type of system requires a significant financial investment, and therefore it is highly recommended that this system be well studied and designed prior to its installation. It is widely acknowledged that one of the most important objectives while designing an AS/RS is to achieve the shortest time for one single cycle. The present work aims at designing an AS/RS with optimal dimensions for the purpose of minimizing the time in a multi-cycle implementation. To do this, it was decided to consider a multi-aisle automated storage/ retrieval system (AS/RS) with a multi-shuttle S/R machine. In addition, a genetic algorithm (GA) was used for the optimization of the system.

This research was taken at one of the mechanical engineering companies produces customize spare parts, special purposed machinery, automation system integrator and robotic installation. The company has problem high cost operation warehouse, need space expanding production line, stockopname problem, picking failure, high cycle time operation, logistic efficiency, and inventory cost. These problems have impact to company performance which need cost down, increase efficiency and productivity with minimum defect. The data has shown company needs additional 157m2 to expanding new line, has 4% picking defect, there is 200 million operational cost over, 150sec cycle time, 7% lost part and risk cyber data security. Due to the importance of the problem, the company needs to evaluate and solve the problem which has impact to company performance, especially in the warehouse. DMAIC (Define Measure Analyze Improve and Control) approach is applied to comprehensively explore the problem and comes out with alternatives solution. Two alternatives were developed. The criteria for selection used were i.e. cost; accuracy, security, safety, productivity, cycle time, and minimize defect It was concluded that the application of automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) was selected as it dominates in many aspects compare to expanding the current one. This implementation of ASRS approved that this new system answers the current warehouse problem
