a) Consider an AS/RS machine in an aisle that is 280 ft long and 70 ft high. The I/O point is in the lower left corner, and the S/R machine travels at 300 ft/min horizontally and 100 ft/min vertically. The time required to pick up or drop off a load is 0.8 minutes. Assuming a single command operation, find the total cycle time in minutes and the throughput in operations per hour. b) Complete part a, assuming dual command operation.
