Introduction

A major bicycle manufacturer establishes an automated warehouse for incoming components. Robots glide up and down the high-rise bays, selecting bins of components under computer control; the bins are passed on to a conveyor system; they move around on a path determined by barcode scanners that identify each bin and route it to a stock picker. The stock picker removes items for despatch to the factory floor as instructed by a computer workstation. An automated guided vehicle rolls off to the factory along a track painted on the floor

Establishing such a system would cost several millions of dollars. However, the expected efficiency of this system has not yet been observed as a result of difficulties encountered with the quality insurance programme for incoming components, and bottlenecks in the successive operations. A manually operated inventory system might do as well or even better
