| Abstract: | The authors introduce an analytical model for the design of a multiple-vehicle automated guided vehicle system (AGVS) with multiple-load capacity operating under a "go-when-filled" dispatching rule. The AGVS delivers containers of material from a central depot to workcenters throughout the factory floor. The workcenters are partitioned into delivery zones. They are served by a common pool of automated vehicles (AGVs), each of which can carry multiple orders per delivery. |
